Following a 4-2 win on penalties in the final against France, the Albiceleste became only the third team to win the tournament through a penalty shootout, after Brazil in 1994 and Italy in 2006.The South Americans got off to the worst possible start in the competition, though, when they were beaten 2-1 by Saudi Arabia in their opening match, a result considered by many to be one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history.
This prolific run of scoring, boosted by Messi and Julian Alvarez's form in front of goal, saw the side finish the event with the second-most goals behind losing finalists France, who registered 16 strikes in Qatar. Les Bleus, meanwhile, will receive £25 million for finishing as runners-up this year, while third-placed Croatia will pocket £23 million for their podium finish.
