Spain coach Luis de la Fuente criticizes Argentina’s behaviour after the 2026 World Cup final, describing it as “unacceptable” and “intolerable.” Multiple outlets report that the remarks follow clashes involving several Argentina players and members of the coaching staff immediately after Spain’s victory over Argentina. De la Fuente highlights post-match altercations that occurred while Spain players were celebrating their second World Cup title in the country’s history.
Several sources specifically mention incidents involving Nahuel Molina and Leandro Paredes. Molina is described as attacking Spain’s Rodri, while Paredes is reported to have confronted or attacked Spain’s Eric García and also confronted Gavi. The Guardian and other outlets characterize some actions as aggression.
While the altercations are widely reported, outlets also note that FIFA is investigating the incident and that the process has not yet led to any announced sanctions at the time of reporting. De la Fuente’s comments combine condemnation of Argentina’s conduct with praise for Spain’s response during and after the final aftermath.
