Senegal had also pointed the finger at the Moroccans before the final as their players were offered little security while being mobbed by members of the public on arriving in Rabat on Friday.

"The fans shouldn't single out one individual to be booed, none of this is Vinicius' fault, it's all of our faults if we play poorly," said Mbappe.

The world number four owns 24 major titles, equal for the most ever with Australia's Margaret Court, but a 25th has remained agonisingly out of reach.

The win marks Senegal's second title, after their 2022 victory over Egypt in Cameroon. It was the team's third final in just the last four editions.
