But La Albiceleste were beaten 1-0 by Spain in the final in New Jersey, putting Messi back among the pack.

No Champions League away goals rule in 2024: What happens if teams are tied on aggregate goals after second leg?
In June 2021, UEFA abolished the away goals tiebreaker starting with the 2021/22 season, and it proved to be a massive change that has altered the way coaches and players approach European competitions played over two legs. Instead of away goals as a tiebreaker if teams are level on goals after 180 minutes (two legs of 90 minutes each), matches go into 30 minutes of extra time. And if that's not enough to decide a winner, the teams go to a penalty shootout to determine a victor.
