Saudi Arabia's historic victory over Argentina continues to make headlines and the triumph leaves them with a good chance of reaching the round of 16 of the World Cup.

After authorities declared three days of national holiday, the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has decided to give a present to all the players.

They will all receive a Rolls-Royce Phantom model that is valued at about 500,000 euros.

No matter what happens, though, the Saudi Arabia players have already been handsomely rewarded for their efforts.

It is a luxury car that features a V12 with 48 valves and a direct gasoline injection, which generates 460 hp (338 kW) of maximum power and 720 Nm (530 lb-ft) of maximum torque. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.7 seconds.

Undoubtedly, this is a huge bonus that, after defeating Argentina, will motivate them further ahead of their match against Robert Lewandowski's Poland on Saturday.
