- Referee-camera footage shows Slovenian official Slavko Vincic asking Messi during the match to control Paredes, who entered at half-time and was booked shortly afterward.
- After Spain's final victory, Paredes allegedly grabbed Eric Garcia by the neck, knocked over Gavi and appeared to throw punches at full-time.
- The same footage shows Vincic receiving a medal from Donald Trump and being praised for his performance.

Messi, control Paredes. I don't want to... he has yellow. Control please. Always, always.— Slavko Vincic, the World Cup final referee, as captured on the referee cam during Argentina vs. Spain; he pleads with Messi to rein in Leandro Paredes.
