Saudi Arabia's heroes are set to be rewarded with a Rolls Royce each after pulling off one of the all-time World Cup shocks to beat Argentina.
Saudi King Salman declared Wednesday a public holiday to mark the national team's stunning victory 24 hours earlier. Now Herve Renard’s men are to each receive a Rolls Royce Phantom - which can cost up to £480,000 - from Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. It comes after footage in France revealed Renard inspired his men by ordering them to stop looking for a selfie with Lionel Messi.
Via a translator, he accused them of showing Argentina too much respect and said: “What are we doing?! What is this pressing…?! If [Lionel] Messi has the ball in the middle of the pitch you stay in front of the defence. You can take your phone and have a picture with him if you want!”
