Thousands of fans in central Paris cheered the arrival home of a France team that lost one of the greatest World Cup finals.<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbappe and teammates landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport from Doha just after 8 pm local time Monday and descended from the plane in a somber mood. Smiling airport staff members holding signs that said “Thank you” and “Paris loves you” were passed without acknowledgment by the team.<\/p>\n

Looking tired and still visibly disappointed by their loss to Argentina in a penalty shootout in Qatar, the players boarded buses that took them to greet the hordes of excited fans waiting for them at Place de la Concorde. There, the team’s mood brightened.<\/p>\n

In contrast with 2018 when France won the World Cup in Russia, the team did not receive a parade on the Champs-Elysees.<\/p>\n
