Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente has criticized the aggressive behavior of Argentine players after "La Furia Roja" won the 2026 World Cup final 1-0.
Sport.Biz reports that after the game, "Albiceleste" defender Nauel Molina Rodri punched in the chest while running. Midfielder Leandro Paredes grabbed Spain defender Eric Garcia by the throat and knocked him to the ground.
"I didn't realize what was happening at the time, because I was celebrating with others. However, I think this is unacceptable from players of this level, whom I praised in the days leading up to the match and who have a fantastic coach.
I think it's worth noting the behavior of our players in response to these provocations. They kept their calm like good sportsmen throughout the entire match", - TVE quotes De la Fuente.
