French star Paul Pogba mocked England by singing "footballs coming home" as les Blues were celebrating the World Cup silverware.
The chant was made popular by the English fans until the Three Lions bowed out of the tournament in the semi-finals.
And the French international took the opportunity to ridicule the Three Lions after France’s Les Bleus beat Croatia’s Blazers 4-2 to cart home the trophy for the second time in history.

The Manchester United ace soon became fully aware of his mistake and apologised as he looked at the camera gracefully.
But after being urged to "do what he likes" by another French star, Pogba repeated the chant once more.
However, after passing the trophy to another colleague the French midfielder took to his Instagram live handle to apologise to his viewers.
"Just kidding, just kidding, sorry. Just kidding, sorry,” Pogba said.
