Argentina's media have praised the conduct of their World Cup finalists despite the ugly scenes that occurred at full-time on Sunday.
Lionel Scaloni's side were so close to retaining their title after lifting the trophy in 2022, but they were beaten 1-0 by Spain in a tense and scrappy final.
Argentina were aggressive throughout the match, as they had been during their semi-final victory over England, but things escalated at the end of the game.
Having already had Enzo Fernandez sent off for a wild late challenge on Pau Cubarsi, Leandro Paredes was dismissed for punching Eric Garcia and pushing Gavi to the ground as the players clashed.
Argentina's Nahuel Molina also thumped Rodri in the torso as he was running by to celebrate Spain's triumph, while Thiago Almada was involved, too.
