Spain’s victory in the World Cup final was followed by unsporting reactions from some of Argentina’s players. Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina were at the centre of events. Paredes attacked two Spanish players, Eric Garcia and Gavi.
FIFA is investigating the post-match incidents, but Spanish star Gavi is already looking ahead. The Barcelona midfielder spoke about the incident during an event in his hometown.
He said that the Argentinians should not be punished.
“To be honest, I don’t think they should be suspended,” the 21-year-old said after a journalist asked him a question. In his view, the matter could have been settled with a red card during the match.
Gavi says that emotions and conflicts are part of football.
“I understand that what happened is not a good example. But this is also part of football, which can be a little more violent,” Gavi said.
