With the Copa America crown safely in the bag, Argentina will now be looking to win the World Cup for a third time. Argentina defeated Brazil to become South American champions last year, as Lionel Messi finally won a first major honour with his country at the age of 34.
It also ended Argentina's 28-year wait for a major trophy, and brought Brazil's unbeaten home record that stretched back more than 2,500 days to a close.
Qualification for Qatar was achieved in style as they finished second in the South American qualifying to Brazil, undefeated in 17 games.
Messi and Lautaro Martinez finished as leading scorers with seven goals apiece, with the former overtaking Pele to become top international scorer in South American football.
