Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente says Argentina’s behaviour after the 2026 World Cup final was “unacceptable” and “intolerable,” following clashes that broke out after Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time. Multiple outlets report that incidents occurred at New York/New Jersey Stadium during Spain’s celebration of winning the World Cup for a second time in the country. According to the coverage, Argentina players and members of the coaching staff were involved in post-match altercations, including acts of aggression directed at Spain players. The Guardian reports that Nahuel Molina and Leandro Paredes were among those involved, with claims that Molina attacked Rodri and Paredes confronted Eric García, while Paredes also confronted Gavi. De la Fuente’s comments add to broader post-final criticism of Argentina that is described as continuing beyond the final itself. Several sources also note that FIFA is investigating the incidents, though no sanctions have been reported in the material provided.
