During Spain's World Cup victory parade in Madrid, forward Lamine Yamal playfully mocked Argentina's Leandro Paredes for an incident that occurred immediately following the final match. Approximately two million Spanish supporters filled the capital's streets to celebrate the team's 1-0 victory over Argentina.
The post-match scene was disrupted when Paredes initiated a physical altercation, grabbing Eric Garcia by the throat and shoving substitute Gavi, which led to a large-scale melee on the field. Yamal's gesture, a sign reading "Velada del ano VII: Paredes vs Gavi," referenced a popular Spanish celebrity boxing event, humorously equating Paredes' actions to a boxing match with Gavi.
