Don't Suspend Paredes For World Cup Final Fracas, Says Spain Midfielder Gavi
FIFA World Cup: Spain midfielder Gavi said on Wednesday that he did not believe Argentina's Leandro Paredes should be banned for his role in the incidents that followed Spain's 1-0 victory over Argentina in Sunday's World Cup final.
As Spain's players began celebrating after the final whistle, Argentina defender Nahuel Molina swung a punch at Spain captain Rodrigo Hernandez, while Paredes, Thiago Almada and Argentina assistant coach Roberto Ayala also became involved.
Paredes appeared to grab Spain defender Eric Garcia by the throat before putting his hand in Gavi's face and pushing him over as the FC Barcelona player attempted to intervene.
