Argentina didn’t get off to the ideal start to their 2022 World Cup campaign, after losing 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their opening match on the 22nd November.

Messi & Co did however make amends for their shock end to a 36-game unbeaten streak, by earning 2-0 victories in both their remaining group stage matches. The first being against Mexico, and then Poland 4 days later.
