Fabian Ruiz criticizes Argentina players after World Cup final conflict

Following Spain's 1-0 victory over Argentina in the World Cup final, Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz has criticized the conduct of the Argentine players after the match. Ruiz stated that players must learn how to handle both victory and defeat, emphasizing the importance of being role models for younger fans.

The post-match tension resulted in significant disciplinary actions from FIFA. Argentine player Leandro Paredes has been suspended for ten matches, Nahuel Molina for seven matches, and staff member Roberto Ajala for three matches.

Ruiz, marking his 50th appearance for Spain without a loss, expressed a desire for the tournament's memory to be defined by the quality of football and Spain's celebrations rather than the post-game altercations.
