WHAT OCCURED? 
With a 2-0 semi-final victory over Morocco, Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani earned France's place in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina. Didier Deschamps, the tournament's head coach, commented after the game and conveyed his sentiments as the competition nears its conclusion.

HOW HE SAID IT: 
Deschamps revealed to reporters after the victory: "There is emotion and pride present. It was nevertheless an important step. There will be one final. We've been working with the players for a month now; it's never easy, but it's been a lot of fun so far."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: 
With their victory over the Atlas Lions, France became the first team since Brazil in 2002 to reach back-to-back World Cup finals. Morocco, on the other hand, put up a strong fight and finished third after an outstanding competition. Deschamps now has the opportunity to become the only person in World Cup history to win the title as both a player and manager twice.
