THE BIGGER PICTURE: The legendary former striker has been a key figure off the field for Argentina throughout their campaign in Qatar, often acting as somewhat of a cheerleader for Lionel Messi and Co.

Aguero was full of praise for Argentina after they handled the threat of Croatia with a 3-0 win in the semi-finals, saying: "They played a very calm game, they waited for the moment. Because Argentina, until the first goal, didn't press as much, and they had possession but they didn't do much either. I think that after the 2-0 Croatia were already tired. They fell apart."

WHAT NEXT FOR ARGENTINA? Aguero will be cheering on the national team again on Sunday when they challenge France for the trophy.
