Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has denied reports of unrest within the Albiceleste squad following their 1-0 defeat to Spain in the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Spain secured the title after Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in extra time during Sunday’s final in New Jersey, ending Argentina’s hopes of lifting the trophy.
In the aftermath of the defeat, speculation emerged on social media alleging that tensions and internal disagreements had developed within the Argentina camp before the final.
Speaking at a post-match media briefing, Scaloni rejected the claims, saying he was unaware of any such issues and does not rely on social media for information.
