France defeated Croatia 4-2 in the World Cup final at Moscow’s Luzhniki stadium on Sunday to lift the trophy for the second time in 20 years.
Twitter was flooded with reactions following France's victory.
Pakistani writer Fatima Bhutto's tweet subliminally speak of the plight of migrants in France.
I hope France never says an unkind word about immigrants ever again

Some lauded that Russia's Putin was probably made of sugar to pass the trophy on to France.

78% of the French football team are immigrants, and 50% are Muslim.

Muslim immigrants rebuilt France after the Second World War, and they've helped make France the #1 team in the world.
Diversity is strength. Racism is weakness.
