Paredes sees red after the game as he grabs García's neck & pushes Gavi to the ground

he World Cup final descended into outrageous scenes as fights broke out among the two sets of players.

Some of Argentina's players lost their heads as Spain's substitutes and staff ran on to the pitch to celebrate their 1-0 win against the South Americans.

Ferran Torres scored a 106th-minute winner after Enzo Fernandez had been sent off in the 93rd minute for a desperately poor Argentina side.

After the whistle, Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes was sent off for putting his hand on Eric Garcia and pushing Gavi to the ground. Argentina's Thiago Almada was also involved.

Micah Richards said of their behaviour on the BBC: 'It's embarrassing. They were on the cusp every single time.

'Seeing that sort of stuff after the game was played, it's not good, it's embarrassing to be honest. Paredes is better than that. We all know what it's like to lose a game but this is not good enough.'

Joe Hart added: 'Disgusting behaviour. There was one man on that pitch with class and that was Lionel Messi.'

Wayne Rooney said: 'Rooney: 'It doesn't surprise me. We've seen this from Argentina before. It's just sad, very poor from them.

'If you lose a game of football, be graceful. It's a reaction to them being outplayed. Enzo Fernandez has got what he deserves it's well.'
