In a heated exchange, Argentina’s Leandro Paredes responded to Brazil’s Rodrygo’s provocation by claiming his World Cup victory.
In a heated CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier between Argentina and Brazil, the match was already charged with controversial pre-game statements. Argentina was leading 3-1 when a fiery exchange saw Brazil’s Rodrygo provoke Argentina’s Leandro Paredes, who responded with a claim of his World Cup triumph.
The altercation began in the 39th minute when Nicolás Tagliafico tackled Raphinha, leading to a strong push from the Brazilian winger. This sparked a reaction from both teams, resulting in yellow cards for the two players involved.
However, the tension escalated when the cameras caught Rodrygo and Paredes facing off. The Real Madrid forward taunted Paredes, saying, “You are very bad.” The Argentina midfielder didn’t back down, replying, “I have one World Cup and two Copa Américas, you have zero.”
