One of the images of the World Cup final was the “clash” between Leandro Paredes and Gavi, but why did it happen?

It all began when Rodri was celebrating the final whistle and Nahuel Molina threw what looked like a punch at him. In response, the Spain captain turned around and reacted angrily.

That’s when Eric García stepped in to defend his teammate, and Paredes went up against the Barcelona center-back.

Gavi then got involved and was knocked to the ground after hitting Paredes and getting the same back from the Boca player.
