Roberto Ayala, one of Lionel Scaloni’s assistant managers for the Argentina national team, has downplayed his incident with Spanish star midfielder Dani Olmo after the titleholders were beaten 1–0 by Spain in the 2026 World Cup final last week.
La Roja were the deserved winners of Sunday’s one-sided affair, thanks to Ferran Torres’s goal in extra time. Argentina’s antics on and off the field were lauded as villainous, and the squad was reduced to 10 men before the extended period when Enzo Fernández received his second yellow card of the night.
