Video: Watch Argentinian player brutally attack Spanish couple after final whistle

Spain’s World Cup title celebrations turned into scenes of chaos and tension after Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes attacked Spain players Eric Garcia and Xavi shortly after the final whistle in an unsportsmanlike act that sparked outrage.

From the floor of MetLife Stadium, Paredes couldn’t fathom his country’s clean sheet defeat by Spain in extra time. After the end of the game, he burst out of anger and beat the Spanish football players in a shameful scene.

Paredes came on as a second-half substitute and displayed a ferocious style of play throughout his time on the pitch, which led to him receiving a yellow card for being too rough with the Spanish players.

The Argentina midfielder was not satisfied with the violence during the game, but continued his aggressive behavior after the final whistle as he attacked Garcia and Xavi in ​​a scene that required the intervention of coach Scaloni to break up the brawl and prevent things from escalating.

The final ended in victory for Spain, with Ferran Torres scoring a clean sheet in the 106th minute of extra time to crown La Roja their second ever world title, 16 years after their first crown.
