There were ugly scenes at the end of the World Cup final as Argentina’s Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina were seen throwing punches at Spain players after their 1-0 defeat. Subscribe to Guardian Football ► https://www.youtube.com/@guardianfootball?sub_confirmation=1
Paredes was then sent off after shoving Spain’s Eric García by the throat and wrestling Gavi to the ground. He had already been booked during the match. The antics after the final whistle were quickly condemned by UK broadcasters, with the former England goalkeeper Joe Hart labelling Argentina’s behaviour ‘disgusting’ on the BBC and ITV’s Gary Neville calling it ‘a disgrace’

#Spain #Argentina #WorldCupFinal #EnzoFernandez #Paredes
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, are the top three for having players sent off in wotld cup tournaments.
Just so that you know where the cheats come from.
FIFA CEO SHOULD GO 1000%
imagenes sacadas de contexto, pongan el video entero y vean como es realmente
Well, Paredes. I like your action, and I’ll do it when I play football👍
Rematch please
como duele el 2 a 1 y sigue doliendo
So Argentina are sore losers as well as bad winners.
Argentina got away with so much in the tournament that it was like they had a helping Hand from all the Ref's.
They started angry because they were told they needed to let Spain win… Or else
Messi's team set a terrible example for children around the world who watched the World Cup final.
FIFA should sanction Argentina.
I am glad Spain is a Champion 👏👏👏👏👏
Messi should be disgusted how his team acted
Arrogant team, Fifa baby, don't cry for me Argentina 😂😂
on the plus side it provided some much needed entertainment
I like the country Spain, but the behavior of the Argentina team was unacceptable.
It was karma over there banner😂😂
😂😂😂Sore losers.We font win so we destroy everything.
As an argentina fan this is just unacceptable from the former defending champions to be so utterly disrespectful
Strong team 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Argentina just embarrassed themselves so badly
Cheater never win … and winner never cheat
Argentina were robbed 1990 final 2014 final and were forced to loss 2026 . This what the world will get back in return fifa always cheated against Argentina to loss
History speaks for Argentina you can check yourself sheep.
Nobody can take 2022 away from him
Spain better
Definition of showing half the story.
We're not showing that Parades was hit by Gavi in the broken rib, and also provoked,
Gavi supposedly said
"Messi can't win without being carried by the refree"
Were we matching a soccer game or a hockey game
Maybe people forget, that Argentina have always had the bad guys” image compare to Brazil.
Messi’s arrival to the national team, have change the national team image for the better.
I've never liked the Argies.
It’s really unfair they don’t show everything that happened
Of course they don’t show the 2 instigating actions from Spain
You can tell paredes has been nothing but a bully his entire life.
placing your hands around somebody’s throat is a sign of a psycho in my opinion.
