That goal was a breakthrough element for Pavard.He played the world cup like it was the only reason why he is existing. He played shots anytime the space opens and did important tackles to deny opponents from passing by.The goal against Argentina brought back the morale and the strong winning believe to France and they lifted the trophy in the end.
