Luis de la Fuente has criticised Argentina players’ conduct after Spain’s World Cup final victory, calling the scenes unacceptable. FIFA has opened an investigation, and no sanctions had been announced at the time of the report.
The reported incidents took place as Spain celebrated winning the World Cup at New York New Jersey Stadium. Nahuel Molina was identified in the source report in an incident involving Rodri, while Leandro Paredes was linked to separate confrontations involving Eric García and Gavi.
De la Fuente said he did not fully register the clashes in the moment because he was celebrating with his squad. He later praised Spain’s players for not reacting in a way that might have made the situation worse.
For editors, the key angle is not just the emotion of a final but how football authorities handle post-match confrontations when footage spreads quickly online. Until FIFA completes its process, the disciplinary outcome remains unresolved.
