Argentina star behind throat-grab incident on Spain defender hints at retirement
Leandro Paredes grabbed Spain defender Eric García by the throat and fought Gavi after Spain's 1-0 extra-time 2026 FIFA World Cup final win at New York New Jersey Stadium.
FIFA opened a disciplinary investigation into conduct of several Argentina delegation members following the post-match altercation.
Paredes, 32, said he is unsure if he will continue with Argentina, citing the need for calm decisions after the tournament cycle.
Several senior Argentina players, including Lionel Messi, face uncertainty over their international futures after the defeat.
