Who is the Argentina player Jude Bellingham appeared to slap after England World Cup loss?

England were beaten 2-1 by Argentina in their World Cup semi-final on Wednesday, despite taking the lead early in the second half.
After the final whistle, a number of Argentine players celebrated on the pitch in front of England star Jude Bellingham .
Bellingham seemed to take exception to the celebrations of Argentina’s Valentin Barco and appeared to slap him.
Barco, 21, has made just one substitute appearance at the World Cup for Argentina against Jordan, but Premier League fans may remember him as he had a brief spell at Brighton, making six appearances in England’s top flight.
Barco was subsequently sent out on loan to Sevilla and then Strasbourg, before he joined the sister club of Chelsea permanently last summer. He is expected to join Chelsea in the near future, but a deal is yet to be announced.
