A photo of the French President Emmanuel Macron cheering during the World Cup final has gone viral.
France won the World Cup for the second time ever on Sunday - and among the millions celebrating the thrilling victory was French President Emmanuel Macron. The football-loving 40-year-old was pictured cheering from the stadium and getting drenched in the rain as he hugged every member of the winning team after their 4-2 triumph against Croatia in the FIFA World Cup final. He even attempted "the dab" with the players in their changing room! Safe to say, Twitter loves the fun-loving side to Mr Macron, and plenty of tweets congratulating him for France's win and praising his enthusiasm have poured in.
Here are some of the best reactions:

However, there were also those who criticised the president, possibly in reference to last month's incident where Mr Macron admonished a teenager for calling him "Manu." "You're here, at an official ceremony and you should behave," he said.
Emmanuel Macron watched the FIFA World Cup final in Moscow with his wife, Brigitte. Political pollsters say that his enthusiastic cheering will give him a popularity boost after his poll ratings have been falling steadily in the last few months.
