FIFA bans Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes for 10 matches following clashes after the World Cup final against Spain. The incident is described across outlets as a scuffle involving Spanish players that occurs at full-time after Argentina’s defeat.
Reports also say FIFA imposes additional disciplinary measures on Argentina personnel. Several outlets state that defender Nahuel Molina receives a seven-match ban and that fines are imposed, including a $90,000 fine for Paredes. Other coverage adds that more than just players are affected, with FIFA suspending multiple Argentina staff and players in connection with the post-match unrest.
While all accounts agree on Paredes’ 10-game suspension and the overall cause, they vary in emphasis: some focus on the moment of the brawl and Paredes’ role, while others summarize the broader set of punishments and combined suspension totals for Argentina across players and staff.
