Spain's World Cup title celebrations turned into scenes of chaos and tension after Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes attacked Spanish players Eric Garcia and Gavi immediately after the final whistle, in unsportsmanlike behavior that sparked widespread outrage.

From the heart of the MetLife Stadium pitch, Paredes could not accept his country's loss to Spain by a single goal in extra time; he erupted in anger after the match and lashed out at the Spanish players in a shameful scene.

Paredes had entered the match as a substitute in the second half and engaged in rough play throughout his time on the pitch, earning a yellow card for excessive aggression against the Spanish players.

The Argentine midfielder was not satisfied with violence during the match; he continued his aggressive behavior after the final whistle, attacking Garcia and Gavi in a scene that required coach Scaloni to intervene and separate them to prevent the situation from escalating.

The final match ended with Spain winning 1-0, thanks to a goal by Ferran Torres in the 106th minute of extra time, crowning 'La Roja' with their second world title in history, 16 years after their first.
