## Resource

Argentina’s World Cup heartbreak turned ugly when assistant coach Roberto Ayala allegedly grabbed Spain’s Dani Olmo by the throat in a post-match outburst, sparking an investigation by FIFA. Ayala, a former Argentine star, claimed it was a frustrated push—not an attack—while trying to stop a scuffle, and apologized for letting emotions take over. The incident follows a brutal final that saw Argentina’s hopes dashed, including a red card and post-match chaos involving players like Leandro Paredes. With the team’s future—and Scaloni’s legacy—now in question, this moment may signal the end of an era for Argentina’s golden generation.
