French fans jumped in the air, threw drinks and set off flares as their team beat Croatia to win the World Cup 4-2.
The French side went one up in the 18th minute after Croatia’s Mario Mandžukić scored the first own goal of a World Cup final.
Ivan Perisic then scored a goal for Croatia in the 28th minute to equalise.
This was followed by French Antoine Griezmann scoring in the 38th minute, Paul Pogba scoring a third goal for France in the 59th minute and French Kylian Mbappe scored his side’s fourth goal in the 65th minute.
Mandzukic scored a second goal for Croatia in the 69th minute, which left the French side winning the match 4-2.
Crowds of cheering French football fans have gathered in Paris, draped in red, white and blue and singing the Marseillaise.
They have been shouting ‘Allez les bleus’, which means ‘Go the blues’.
A huge screen has been installed at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and security staff have been struggling to cope with the massive crowds.
France is vying for its second title and Croatia aims to become the ninth team to win the tournament and get their first World Cup win.
One fan, Sarah, 21, said: “The atmosphere is electric. Everyone is here for France to win.
“It does not matter if we do not see the screen, we have our phones, we have water and we are together – that’s what’s important, everyone here has so much desire for victory.”
A day after the nation celebrated Bastille Day close to the Eiffel Tower, huge numbers of French fans congregated in the same spot to watch the final.
France has deployed 110,000 security officers this weekend over fears of a terrorist attack as hundreds of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets for the World Cup final.
The mass deployment was ordered as the country remains on high alert for terrorist attacks.
The 2016 terrorist attack in Nice is still rife in people’s memories when sadistic Isis jihadis killed 86 people and wounded 458 by driving a truck into crowds celebrating Bastille Day.
If France win the World Cup, more than a million people are expected to descend to Paris’ most famous avenue, the Champs-Elysées.
With a population of 4.2 million people as of 2016, Croatia is the smallest country to reach the title clash since Uruguay in 1950.
The Russian tournament has gripped the globe and millions have tuned in across the world to support their nations.
