The head coach of the Spanish national team, Luis de la Fuente, has strongly criticised the behaviour of several Argentina players following Spain's victory in the World Cup final.
In an interview with Spanish public broadcaster TVE, de la Fuente described Argentina's actions after the final whistle as "intolerable and unacceptable" and praised his own players for keeping their composure.
"At the time I didn't realise, because I was celebrating with other people, hugging team-mates. In any case, I find it intolerable and unacceptable from players of that calibre, whom I had been praising in the days before and who have a magnificent coach," de la Fuente said.
