Exclusive footage from the 2026 FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Spain revealed a provoking exchange between Slovene referee Slavko Vinčić and Lionel Messi. The referee asked Messi to intervene and calm down his teammate Leandro Paredes after receiving a warning. The images also showed the referee urging Messi to keep Paredes under control to prevent him from being sent off, despite Paredes having already received a yellow card in the second half and continuing to play until the end. The referee confirmed that he only praised Messi's conduct during the match. The game ended with Argentina winning by a single goal scored by Ferran Torres after 120 minutes, with match events documented from the referee's perspective using "RefCam" technology.
