The World Cup is over for another four years and the tournament's grand finale didn't disappoint. France won the biggest prize in football for the second time by overcoming Croatia 4-2 in a thrilling final in Moscow. Crowned world champions for the second time and cap a truly remarkable event. It was the final which had everything - controversial decisions, a pitch invasion, the first World Cup final own goal, its first teenage goalscorer since Pele, and a comedy goalkeeping error. The tournament had 169 goals - two short of the record 171 set four years ago in Brazil and in France '98. Griezmann's goal was the 22nd penalty scored at this World Cup - a record. It was the 29th spot-kick taken - the highest since the stats were first recorded in 1966.
