Saudi Arabia crown prince Mohammed bin Salman has promised the national team players a Rolls-Royce Phantom each thanks to their win over Argentina. Saudi Arabia, ranked 51st in the world by FIFA and thus the World Cup’s lowest-ranked team, beat world No.3 Argentina in their Group C opener, ending a 36-game unbeaten run. Goals from Saleh Al Shehri and Salem Al Dawsari came after a Lionel Messi’s opener in what was one of the all-time World Cup shocks. Multiple reports claim Bin Salman has promised the squad a Rolls-Royce each, with prices for the luxury Phantom starting at £363,600. That figure would equate to £9.4million for Bin Salman, who reportedly has a net worth of $8billion.
Next up for Saudi Arabia are Poland on Saturday, where a win would see them take a huge step towards reaching the knockout rounds of the competition.
