Osim hrvatskih nogometaša i navijača koji su osvojili srca svijeta, ovo je prvenstvo iznjedrilo još jednu zvijezdu – hrvatsku predsjednicu Kolindu Grabar-Kitarović.
Britanski Independent posvetio joj je članak prozvavši je najvatrenijom navijačicom i potkrijepivši svoju tvrdnju nizom tvitova u kojima se spominje.
Na početku, s čuđenjem konstatiraju da je predsjednica na prvenstvo putovala ekonomskom klasom zajedno s ostalim navijačima:

Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović (1968)
The First Woman President of Croatia, traveled with fans in economy class, and support their team with the crowds in the stadium.
A country of such values, deserves a World Cup in Everything. CHAPEAU pic.twitter.com/usXddoLBMY
Kažu potom da je neke utakmica gledala s tribine a ne iz VIP lože:
Great respect to the President of Croatia:

1. She did not miss a single match.
2. Travelled in economy class.
3. Always in the stands with the fans.
4. Values football.
5. Loves everyone. #WorldCupFinal pic.twitter.com/4667wItAPe
Njezina odjeća bila je 'kockice od glave do pete'. I dok su se drugi svjetski vođe ipak odlučili za odijela, ona se praktički umotala u hrvatsku zastavu:
Just got this Whatsapp post. Incredible, if true! “She flew economy class to Russia&watched the match with fans till recognized&offered a seat in the VIP area.She was unhappy though, as she wasn’t allowed to wear a team T-shirt in VIP area.Her identity?President of Croatia!” pic.twitter.com/w6GVOmh2XA

Također, čini se da je uživala u svakoj sekundi prvenstva…

Čak i kad je kiša počela lijevati, njoj nije smetalo.

Independent se na kraju pita jesu li Francuzi uopće pravi pobjednici kad je ona u blizini?

No, mora se priznati, i francuski predsjednik Macron dobro se držao, iako nije bio od glave do pete obučen u boje Francuske.
This is an appreciation post for Kolinda Kitarovic and Emmanuel Macron. For their down-to-earthness. For showing us that we can enjoy seeing politicians during a game. For being united in the name of football. For loving the game. #WorldCupFinal pic.twitter.com/CblDwE4pRh
