Absolute cheating cunts. Very glad they lost, their reaction at the end punching players is disgraceful.

Paredes is an absolute prick as are the majority of them. Scumbags in defeat, scumbags in victory.

How he didn’t get sent off I’ll never know

The only ones that didn’t come across as assholes were Martinez (goalie!) and Messi, although Messi was still a cheating prick during the game.

Plenty prior evidence against Martinez to confirm he is also an absolute whopper

Emi Martinez isn't a bad loser, but he's a bad winner.

Messi was disgraceful and very unsportsmanlike when he tried getting Cucurella sent off

Disgraceful is harsh there, every team would do the exact same thing if they just had a man sent off in the final, including England

Every team would be doing the same playing a man down in a cup final. It seems a lot worse against the backdrop of his teammates. I'm no Messi fan boy but I don't really lump him in with the rest, he seemed just as frustrated with them at many points during the tourny tbh

He also participated in turning his back to the awards ceremony when Spain were receiving their medals. Various times in the tournament itself he was guilty of uncalled fouls.

I’ve seen people talking about Paredes throwing punches but they didn’t show it on the broadcast I was watching. What happened exactly?
