Otamendi Confronts Rodri, Accuses Him of Pressuring Referee After World Cup Final Defeat
Argentina’s veteran defender Nicolas Otamendi snapped at former City teammate Rodri after Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time of the World Cup final. Otamendi claimed Rodri and Aymeric Laporte had spent the week before the showpiece match lobbying officials. He angrily confronted Rodri after Enzo Fernández was sent off in stoppage time, shouting that they had been “crying with the referees” all week. Rodri and Laporte had earlier voiced frustration with officiating, suggesting Argentina’s physical style went unchecked. Their comments clearly rattled Otamendi in the aftermath of Argentina’s heartbreaking loss.
