so that's wonderful to see will come back to you in a short while but now we're going to go to barbara moore who is our w. sports correspondent she's standing by in moscow where this final has been played barbara tell us about what the fans there are saying now that this world cup has wrapped up. to be honest most of the fans us the inside the stadium of course because celebrations are going on and of course the especially the french fans they would not leave the stage before they have been able to soak up this whole atmosphere that all these celebrations but of course i mean just like in zagreb maybe people here from the creation team that's been very proud of the achievements and they can be because this is the first final they've reached and they have had shown such a good performance and then the few french people i've been able to talk to here i can just see and feel how they are relieved they are after what happened two years ago have also been to friends to the final in paris two years ago i have seen all those disappointments desperation after they lost the final there and the euro t

twelfth player out there of course to playing in moscow everyone super excited but our colleague barbara moore was there and she sent us this report from ard. what a drama what an incredible day for the russian fans i say this is their victory spain with clearly the better team they had more quality more pole position but russian menace to hold strong make it through extra time into the penalty shoot out and then also have the nerves to win i say this is because they have this enormous crowd behind them there was little going lots of cheering also in that sense the victory was absolutely deserved and the support as we have been so skeptical about their very own team ahead of the tournament they still supported the team all the way through so i say having russia win here as the best that could happen to this world cup. well there you have it russian fans obviously super excited barbara even seem excited because she was watching if they're alive and who will they play next well of course croatia or denmark two great teams i think rice are going to go really far in this tournament they look absol

out on the pitch there and to be honest with it the best thing to do is hear from our colleague barbara moore who was there in moscow because she revealed sort of was living it to the right there with all the fans. all right pablo unfortunately i think we're going to have to leave it there so we'll have to hear from behind another time okey doke you're up to date now on the deadly news fully back at the top of the hour if you stay with us. you're going to want to fishel estimates more than one point two million venezuelans live in colombia legally and illegally. already at a local worldwide returned to. visit friends i don't think i'd ever go back there to live you know what i live there again.

like the twelfth or even thirteenth player right on the pitch for them i spoke to our colleague barbara moore already earlier on and she was at the match and she just said it was incredible it was electric and they're really pushing for russia to go far so it appears that with that support russia could go the whole way which is something that just a few weeks ago no one would have said so they're definitely impressing a lot of people i think we do have a clip of barbara speaking to we seem to see it so let's have a look at that. what a drama what an incredible day for the russian fans i say this is their victory spain with clearly the better team they have more quality more pole position but russian menace to hold strong make it through extra time into the penalty shoot out and then also have the nerves to win i say this is because they have this enormous crowd behind them there was little going lots of cheering also in that sense the victory was absolutely deserved and the support as we had been so skeptical about that area would seem ahead of the tournaments they still supported the team al

sports reporter barbara moore she's in moscow barbara had good to see you what is the atmosphere like right now. it's heartbreaking to hear melanie i must say from zagreb and it's a bit like what the people here also fear because most people who have been supporting croatia of course now anyway from from the moscow post-tax if i must say that four weeks of nerve wrecking tension have come to an end here with this fine and it was such a perfect final as a spectator it had everything you could wish for and we had a thunderstorm even going on during the game we had invaders on the pitch we had six goal it's incredible goals including a penalty and an own goal and as a as a neutral spectator i will say it was just fantastic to be a witness of this game it was a high scoring final you mention the six goals in sixty years what did you make of the game. what i do think it was it was into taining first of all you might be a bit critical of the french side they didn't have that many shots on target of course but then again friends just proved they are the team that just knows how to win and th

it's like almost having a twelfth or even thirteenth player ahead on the pitch but our colleague barbara moore who had the look of actually being there and watching all the action live at sends us that this report a little bit earlier on. what a drama what an incredible day for the russian fans i say this is their victory spain with clearly the better team they had more quality more ball position but russian menace to hold strong make it through extra time into the penalty shoot out and then also have the nerves to win i say this is because they had this enormous crowd behind them there was a little going lots of cheering also in that sense the victory was absolutely deserved and the support as we had been so skeptical about their very own steam ahead of the tournament they still supported the team all the way through so i say having russia win here as the best that could happen to this work out. of there you have the best thing that could happen for the world cup of course it's always great to have the hosts in there because like barbara was saying you know they've really really rooted for th

two joining me in studio is a sports reporter nick mechanic klein and joining me from moscow is barbara moore where the sun was potentially shining on france but it's pouring rain right now barbara you were in the stadium for the final what was the atmosphere like then and what's the atmosphere like now when you're outside. right now it's going to be fun for you i have to say it was during the celebration that the rain started we had kind of a thunderstorm during the game a bit and that came down. everybody outside so we're all in the center and brits here and it looks kind of i mean i guess you fans that just go into what the future celebrating of course they're all the fans and but it's the old the phrase. cheering up and. that of racing at the very proud of the performance of that. there are plenty of gold six of them what did you make of the game barbara. but haven't they had from the perspective of brit mutual the spectator it was and i think it was it had all of its sports we had drama this. some of the story we had in pages on the page that we had these six goals including i cannot see

the world cup in russia with the host pulling off a big shock to beat spain i'm joined now by barbara moore who is standing by in moscow and tom gentle is joining us here in the studio and barbara i'd like to turn to you first because you are where all the action was yesterday russia knocking out one of the tournament favorites and what a game it was. absolutely i think very few people would have predicted this victory it was quite an experience to be inside the stadium right behind me the atmosphere was absolutely electric the arena almost exploding in the end now spain was clearly the better team they must have been very frustrated that russia actually managed to go through extra time make it into the penalty shoot out and having the nerves to win it was absolutely amazing very surprising let's have a look how exactly they did it. when marco asensio swung in a deep free kick on sergio ramos made himself a nuisance ignatiev it was overwhelmed and an unfortunate goal to spike front but the hosts pulled themselves back a corner shortly before half time was met with the hand blue from gerard
