Tensions flared at the end of Spain’s 1-0 victory over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with things getting particularly tense between Leandro Paredes and multiple Spanish players.
First, Paredes got into a confrontation with Eric García, charging at him and grabbing him by the neck. Gavi then got himself involved as well, coming in and engaging with Paredes before players from both teams and Lionel Scaloni stepped in to separate everyone after a tense extra-time finish in the World Cup final.
Argentina played with a physical edge and was willing to make the game scrappy. It attempted to drag Spain into that kind of match, but the Spanish prevailed, thanks in part to Enzo Fernández being sent off in stoppage time of normal time after receiving a second yellow card for a late challenge.
Playing with 10 men in extra time made the task even more difficult for an incredibly resilient Argentina side that showed grit, determination and a warrior mentality throughout the entire tournament.
Argentina ultimately lost in the final, marking the first major international tournament it has participated in but failed to win since the 2019 Copa América.
