Spain center-back Aymeric Laporte has criticized Argentina's conduct during their World Cup semifinal win over England, accusing them of lacking humility and using aggressive tactics. Laporte specifically cited an incident where Argentina substitute Valentin Barco screamed in Jude Bellingham's face after a goal. He expressed concern that such behavior, if unchecked by referees, could destabilize opponents. Laporte emphasized Spain's fair play approach ahead of Sunday's World Cup final against Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The article also notes Laporte's career journey from Manchester City to Al-Nassr and back to Athletic Bilbao, and his key role in Spain's tournament run.
