French supporters lined the Champs-Elysees on Monday afternoon as they prepared to receive Les Bleus fromn Russia following their World Cup final win over Croatia. Fans numbered their thousands along the Champs-Elysees in Paris as they awaited their victorious national team's return, waving tricolour flags amid a party atmosphere in the capital. The national team had beat Croatia 4-2 in Sunday's World Cup final in Moscow to win the tournament for a second time, 20 years on from their 1998 triumph on home soil.
