But every time they raised their level in the dying moments of the game to pull things back. The epitome of it came against England in the semi-final, when Argentina, once again scored twice in the final 5 minutes of the match, to reach the final. Lionel Messi has been the starring man, but players like Paredes, Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandes have been stepping up as well.

Luis De la Fuente's side have been defensively solid, conceding just one goal in the tournament so far - against Belgium in the quarter-finals. The have drawn just one game - against Cape Verde in their World Cup opener, and since that poor outing have turned their campaign around, winning every single match.
