Samuel Umtti's goal was crucial to this success in France.
France once won the World Cup and the one in 1998, when the captain was exactly Deschamps, beating Brazil in the finals by 3-0.
The coach has refused to make comparisons between this generation and that 20 years ago, saying they want to write a new glorious page of French football history.
Deschamps has broken a record that no one had achieved so far.
He has returned to the first man to reach the World Championship and European Championship finals, as a player and coach.
The difference is he had won both trophies as a player in 1998 and 2000.
On the other hand is a loss taken two years ago, where France loses from Portugal to the final.
