1 hour ago·1 min

Three Argentina players have received suspensions following a brawl that broke out at the end of last month's World Cup final against Spain, FIFA confirmed.

Leandro Paredes received the heaviest punishment, a 10-match ban, for his role in the post-match confrontation that marred the conclusion of the showpiece fixture.

Separately, Argentina were handed a financial penalty rather than a sporting sanction after their players and staff displayed a banner referencing the Falkland Islands following their semifinal victory over England.
