PARIS - From leaping from his seat in the VIP box to consoling crestfallen players on the pitch, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a wide-ranging performance at the football World Cup final that was not to everyone’s taste.He even made an appearance in the team’s changing room to deliver an emotional post-game pep talk.
France were 2-0 behind until the 80th minute before a quickfire double by Kylian Mbappe levelled the game. “It was a bit disturbing to see him stuck like glue to Mbappe,” the far right opposition MP Sebastien Chenu told the LCI channel.The famously tactile leader also stood next to the emir of Qatar in the line of VIPs as they handed over awards and medals to the players in the closing ceremony.
“Macron did he go over the top?“ asked the BFM news channel, adding he had acted like France’s “12th man” throughout the evening.Mr Macron is a passionate follower of the national team who also made headlines in 2018 leaping to his feet in the stands as France won the World Cup in Russia.
