The 2022 World Cup champions are yet to be crowned - with Argentina taking on reigning champions France in Sunday's showpiece final - but there have been numerous winners and losers throughout the tournament already. Lionel Messi has starred for his country, sitting joint-top for most goals and most assists, with Antoine Griezmann also drawing praise for his performances for Les Bleus, as well as several nations upsetting the odds in Qatar. But for the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Mexico and Budweiser, it has been a tournament to forget. Here Sportsmail takes a look at the winners and losers to come out of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Arsenal chalked up nearly 3,000 LESS than Man City, Newcastle got a boost over top-four rivals while Southampton had a month off! How many World Cup minutes did each Premier League club play?
The Premier League's restart is fast approaching following Argentina's World Cup triumph in Qatar, and each top flight team is gunning to sink their teeth back into the campaign after six weeks away. Having experienced a significant period of time away from the competition, it is not yet known how the teams will adjust to such a lengthy hiatus midway through the Premier League season. Golden boot leader Erling Haaland and Liverpool hitman Mohamed Salah will be among those itching to grace the stage once again having missed out on the World Cup.
Destiny fulfilled for Messi, Ronaldo's reputation in tatters, Mbappe doing everything but win and agony for England and Brazil: Against a backdrop of death and discrimination, the most evocative images from the Qatar 2022 World Cup
It was a truly extraordinary World Cup both on and off the field that culminated in Lionel Messi and Argentina's fairytale victory over France in a classic final. We witnessed the implosion of Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy, Morocco's magical run to the semi-finals, Kylian Mbappe do everything humanly possible but win the trophy, and failure for Germany, Brazil, Spain and others. There was agony once again for England as Harry Kane skied his penalty in a heartbreaking exit to France. But away from the football, there has never been such a controversial World Cup as Qatar 2022. The deaths of thousands of migrant workers building stadiums, the banning of armbands promoting LGBTQ+ rights, a last-minute u-turn on selling beer and political protests over Iran made for an unsettling backdrop. Sportsmail takes a look back at the tournament with a selection of some of the most evocative images.
Develop a killer instinct against big rivals, integrate young talents like Eze and Elliott and take off the shackles... What Southgate MUST do to take England to the next level after agreeing to stay on
ADRIAN KAJUMBA: England can call off the search for a new manager after Gareth Southgate decided to continue in the wake of their agonising World Cup exit. The Three Lions may have exited to France at the quarter-final stage - a regression on their last two tournament performances - but the manner of their performance has swung a great deal of public opinion back behind Southgate. He will now continue until at least the European Championships in Germany in 2024 but what does Southgate need to do now to continue moving England forward?
Mbappe's back! French star puts World Cup heartbreak behind him by shunning 10 days off to return to PSG training just 72 HOURS after defeat by Argentina... and he could play Strasbourg next week
Kylian Mbappe (centre) has returned to PSG training just three days after losing the World Cup final. Mbappe starred during Sunday's showpiece event (left) against Argentina, leading a French comeback in normal time with two goals in 94 seconds - before he also scored in extra time to level the tie again at 3-3.

Lionel Messi (R) is meanwhile still in Buenos Aires celebrating Argentina's triumph.

A Lionel Messi penalty and Angel Di Maria second meant France were staring down the barrel having been outplayed and outworked in a superb first half by Argentina (top right). France's hopes of retaining their World Cup crown looked well and truly over after just 45 minutes, leaving Mbappe with no option than to take it upon himself and urge his team-mates to step up their game instead of going down without a fight. The moment was captured by Telefoot cameras (main), with Mbappe's maturity and leadership qualities shining through, before he heeded his own advice and scored a hat-trick (bottom right) to force penalties.

Argentina's World Cup celebrations have been marred by the death of a 24-year-old fan, after he fell through a roof 'jumping up and down' celebrating their 4-2 penalty shootout win over France. Lionel Messi and the rest of Argentina's players delivered the nation's first World Cup triumph since 1986 and it caused millions in Argentina to throw parties. But after Tuesday's bus parade was cut short due to safety concerns of fans jumping onto the top of the bus with the players, the Buenos Aires Ministry of Health detailed how another fan died in hospital on Monday due to a head injury picked up while celebrating.

Lionel Messi was greeted to a heroes reception as he returned to his home in Rosario after leading Argentina to World Cup glory. The 35-year-old returned to his home city for the first time since lifting the World Cup on Sunday, after he was earlier forced to evacuate his side's winners' parade earlier in the day after fans jumped from bridges to get on the bus.

Crazed Argentina fans leap into victorious World Cup team's bus, hijack a police car and hurl missiles at officers forcing Messi and co to flee to a helicopter and continue tour of Buenos Aires from the air
The players were transferred to choppers after four million supporters thronging the streets of Buenos Aires made it impossible for them to continue their journey. The helicopters carrying the footballers circled low above the skies of the capital including the area around the iconic Obelisk monument as crazed fans chanted and applauded before taking them back to the Argentine Football Association's (AFA) training facilities HQ near Ezeiza Airport where the victory parade had begun around midday. The streets of the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires have been mobbed with jubilant fans for the open-top bus parade, which is set to last around eight hours. It will take in landmarks including the iconic Obelisk, where the majority of expectant Argentinian supporters have congregated. AFA president Chiqui Tapia confirmed in a tweet just before 4pm local time: 'They won't allow us to greet everyone who was at the Obelisk. The security organisations that were escorting us won't let us continue. I apologise in the name of all the players. A real shame.' Gabriela Cerruti, an Argentine presidential spokeswoman, tweeted as TV stations broadcast the breathtaking images of the crowds looking upwards towards the players above them in the sky: 'The world champions are flying along the route they were taking because it was impossible to continue by road with the explosion of happiness. Let's continue celebrating in peace and showing them our love and admiration.'

Messi and Argentina returned as heroes as they were greeted by thousands of fans at Ezeiza International Airport after touching down in Buenos Aires following their stunning World Cup triumph. And during their celebrations, the PSG forward was chucked the toy and had a hilarious reaction when he quickly realised why it had been thrown at him.

Souness and Keane's on-air clash, Van Gaal's kisses, Croatia's beauty queen, England's squad adopting a CAT and the Saudi fan who ripped his door off its hinges! 20 alternative World Cup highlights after Argentina's success
This was a tournament for Louis van Gaal's kissing, England's players adopting a cat called Dave, Saudi Arabia stunning Argentina, thanks in no small part to a rousing speech from their manager Herve Renard. This was a tournament for Japan's players showing off their origami skills, for Bukayo Saka to expose his team-mates' troubles at spelling, and for the poor Mexican fan who was so frustrated at going out in the group stages he smashed up his TV with a knife. There were moments of sadness too, not least the infamous pre-tournament press conference from FIFA president Gianni Infantino and the sour scenes between Argentina and Holland at the end of their feisty quarter-final clash. Sportsmail looks back on all that and more in 20 hand-picked moments that made us laugh, made us wince and everything in between from the Qatar World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo is named in the WORST team of the World Cup after his nightmare tournament for Portugal along with a Chelsea star... but which victorious Argentine is also included?
Cristiano Ronaldo (left) scored only one goal for his country and was dropped to the bench by Fernando Santos for their last-16 clash with Switzerland and their shock quarter-final defeat to Morocco. The 37-year-old free agent reportedly threatened to quit the Portuguese camp during a heated meeting with Santos after he found out he had been axed for the Switzerland game, although this was denied by the country's FA and the player. And Ronaldo's misery has been compounded by being chosen by statistics company Sofascore in their worst team of the World Cup. The worst XI team is based on Sofascore's rating, which gives each player a score out of 10 for their performances at the tournament. To be included, players had to have made a minimum of four appearances in Qatar. The team also includes the USA's Sergino Dest (inset left) and a player from champions Argentina.

MATT HUGHES - EXCLUSIVE: FIFA president Gianni Infantino wants to hold the World Cup every three years as part of a long-term plan to revolutionise international football.

Infantino is convinced that staging the World Cup in the middle of a European winter over the past month has proved to be a game-changer, which shows that the sport can continue to grow and be globalised.

The French press have desperately claimed that Argentina's third goal in the World Cup final should not have been allowed because two 'emotional substitutes' ran onto the pitch before Lionel Messi's strike had crossed the line. Having raced into a two-goal lead before half time with goals from Messi and Angel Di Maria, Argentina were pegged back when Kylian Mbappe scored twice in two minutes to take the game to extra time. The controversial moment then arrived in the 108th minute as Lautaro Martinez was played through on goal. His effort was well saved by Hugo Lloris, but Messi was on hand to tap home the rebound from close range.
