Spain became world champions after a 1:0 win over Argentina in extra time in the final of the 2026 World Cup, but the end of the match at MetLife Stadium was marred by a scuffle between players. At the center of the incident was Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes, who got into a conflict with Spanish players after the final whistle. Le Figaro ↗
According to available descriptions, after the loss Paredes grabbed Eric García by the neck and then shoved Gavi to the ground. Tension had already been building during the match, in which Paredes was repeatedly close to being sent off. Information also emerged about a red card after the match, though later reports indicated that confusion had arisen over the matter and the card was ultimately not issued. STVR (Spravy) ↗
Following the incidents, FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Argentina, and its committee is to assess the conduct of players and members of the coaching staff after the final defeat. Reports also mentioned other Argentine participants in the post-match shoving, including Nahuel Molina and Roberto Fabián Ayala. teraz.sk ↗
A new development is Gavi's stance, as he does not want Paredes to receive an additional suspension. According to headlines, the Spanish midfielder did note that such behavior is not a good example for children, but he also stated that he would not punish the Argentine player. Further developments will therefore depend mainly on FIFA's disciplinary assessment. Telex ↗
