World Cup 2018 came to an end with France defeating Croatia 4-2 in an epic final in Moscow.
 
The thrilling match was no less than a dramatic event, from mind-boggling goals to ‘invaders’ trying to stall the finale.
 
The presentation ceremony too had its fair share of drama when it started raining.
 
While most rejoiced it as a good omen, one particular thing on the podium raised many eyebrows online.
 
Standing on the stage, Russian President Vladimir Putin was the only one who was offered an umbrella, while others, including Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović and French President Emmanuel Macron, got drenched.
 
The footage from the ceremony quickly went viral on social media platforms, with many taking a jibe at Putin.
