According
to media reports, a massive brawl broke out on the field after the final
whistle. Several players of the Argentine national team were among the
participants in the incident. In particular, it is reported that Nahuel Molina
hit the Spanish captain Rodri, and Leandro Paredes came into conflict with
defender Eric Garcia and midfielder Gavi.
The main
referee of the match, Slavko Vincic, showed Paredes a straight red card after
the end of the match. Enzo Fernandez was also sent off during the final, and
several Argentine players and the team's head coach Lionel Scaloni received warnings.
According
to FIFA, after reviewing the official reports, the disciplinary committee
appointed a prosecutor for disciplinary and ethical issues to investigate
possible violations of the Disciplinary Code committed after the final match.
The deadline for completing the investigation has not yet been announced.
In
addition, FIFA is investigating an episode that occurred after the semi-final
match of Argentina against England, when Argentine football players unfurled a
banner with the inscription "The Malvinas Islands belong to
Argentina." Since the organization's regulations prohibit political
statements during the tournament, this episode may also be the subject of
disciplinary proceedings.
