As Rio’s time at his Airbnb in Los Angeles draws to a close, he sets off to work out who everyone’s favourite player of the tournament is.

From supporters outside the stadium to pundits alongside Joel and Ste, Rio hears from a huge range of opinions to work out if there’s a clear favourite.

Fox Sports’ Darren Fletcher kicks off a debate concerning the reputations of both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and compares them to the legends, Diego Maradona and Pele.

Rio also spends time meeting some of the biggest players at the tournament including Lamine Yamal as Spain plotted their way to the World Cup final in New York.
