Paredes grabbed defender Eric Garcia by the throat and threw Gavi to the ground after Spain’s extra-time win in the World Cup final. As a Fox Sports pundit, the former striker said he would have headbutted Paredes on the pitch, welcomed the sending-off and called the midfielder’s actions unprofessional. Paredes received a retrospective red card and now faces a FIFA investigation. Ibrahimovic, known for his physical style, also announced his retirement from punditry after the tournament.
