The then VfB Stuttgart man may have gone to the 2018 World Cup with just six caps under his belt but went on to last the distance in six of his country's seven matches, including the 4-2 victory over Croatia in the final.

Pavard's future Bayern teammate Tolisso also featured five times for Les Blues in Russia, making two starts and teeing up Antoine Griezmann for the second in the 2-0 win over Uruguay in the quarter-finals, before producing a 17-minute cameo against Croatia as France claimed World Cup glory for a second time.
