Emmanuel Macron has been mocked incessantly after he was unable to take a hint and leave French football players alone following their loss to Argentina.

During the awards ceremony, Mpabbe was seen pulling away from Macron's desperate attempts to console and hug him.

'No other team would have got here and come back on two occasions and being so close to winning it. As Martinez pulled Mbappe up from the ground and the pair shook hands, Macron was seen grasping the French player's arm and holding on while trying to speak to him Another said: 'Messi deserved to win but Mbappe didn't deserve to lose.

During the awards ceremony, Macron, who was handing out medals to the dejected French players, tried again to hug Mbappe but he refused to make eye contact with the President and quickly moved away to shake another official's hand

In a minute-and-half speech in France's change room, France's president Emmanuel Macron hailed the players for making “men and women dream”.

You had the heart, the hunger, the desire and the talent to go there. Long live the Republic and long live France.” You have done great football and great sport. You have made the French women and men who needed it dream. “You have made millions of French men and women dream so far and still today they have vibrated. In a sombre setting, with the players sitting slumped, and the coach Deschamps beside him, Micron gave a short speech.

PM Modi consoling then ISRO Chief K Sivan after the failure of Chandrayan-2 will forever remain in our minds," Ravi said.

Karnataka BJP leader CT Ravi on Monday compared prime minister Narendra Modi and France president Emmanuel Macron after a video of the latter consoling a disheartened French national footballl team - after they lost the 2022 FIFA World Cup final to Argentina - went viral.

The message is clear: please, for the love of God, keep politicians out of football.

At the medal ceremony, Macron was at it again, this time grabbing Mbappé around the neck and cradling his head. Once again, it was clear that the footballer really, really didn’t want or need this, not that Macron appeared to notice or care. Macron’s opportunism is Schrödinger’s politics: it is both rightly inside the football event and yet also correctly outside it at the same time. On the other hand, isn’t football the perfect bandwagon upon which to jump in order to buff not just one’s personal image but to score points about diversity, inclusion and opportunity in France at the same time? The French president has been putting himself about during the tournament: performative goal celebrations when times were good, buttering up the Qatari hosts, and also playing all the classic hits about keeping politics out of sport. Imagine you’re only 23 and this crushing failure is being witnessed by your loved ones, everyone you have ever met, and countless millions more worldwide.
