FIFA made official this Friday (21) the punishments for those involved in the scuffle after the final whistle of Spain vs. Argentina, which decided the World Cup.
Paredes and Molina, both from the Albiceleste, received the harshest bans: 10 and 7 matches suspended in international games, respectively.
The altercation began as soon as the match ended at MetLife Stadium.
Molina body-checked Rodri, who had been substituted and came onto the field to celebrate.
The now-Barcelona player got up to confront him and, shortly after, Borja Iglesias and Eric GarcĂa also went after the current Roma full-back.
The scuffle escalated with Paredes entering the fray. He shoved Gavi, who was also targeted by Thiago Almada.
The Boca Juniors midfielder grabbed the Barcelona playmaker by the neck and threw him to the ground.
Eric GarcĂa also suffered from Paredesâ "wrath."
Scaloni and former center-back Walter Samuel, a member of Argentinaâs coaching staff, tried to contain the chaos.
Another flashpoint in the scuffle involved Roberto Ayala, another former player and also one of Scaloniâs assistants, assaulting Olmo. He was also punished.
