The Spanish defender, Aymeric Laporte, stated that the team internally analyzed the playing style of the Argentine National Team and considered that the referee's performance will be key to the development of the match.
As he explained, in the recent matches of Lionel Scaloni's team, they observed situations that, in their view, were too lenient from a disciplinary standpoint.
The defender maintained that Argentina is a rival that plays with great intensity and assured that some actions should be penalized more strictly to prevent the match from losing control. “In the last matches, we have seen things that have surprised us a lot, actions that are overlooked,” he expressed.
Beyond the analysis of the refereeing, Laporte made it clear that the Spanish team only contemplates one outcome for the final.
