Overview
- Spain beat defending champions Argentina 1-0 when Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute of extra time to decide the final.
- Argentina had been reduced to 10 men late in normal time after Enzo Fernández was sent off for a second yellow card.
- Leandro Paredes started a post-match melee by grabbing Eric García and striking Gavi, and he was shown a red card for his actions.
- FIFA appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to investigate the brawl and will automatically open proceedings over Paredes’s red card while reviewing other players’ and officials’ roles.
- Lionel Messi did not take part in the fighting, was seen in tears during the ceremony and wrote that “the pain is immense,” as the presentation involving President Trump drew boos and Argentine unrest followed the loss.
