Deschamps not only praised the champions but also offered words of support for those on the losing side. “It’s always good to win titles, but I also want to mention Marcus (Thuram) and Benji (Pavard), who won’t have the same feeling. This is the highest level of world football, and while we all want to win, it doesn’t always happen,” said the coach empathetically.
