Fans demand official Gavi vs. Paredes fight after savage World Cup banner trolls Argentina

Missing out on back-to-back World Cup titles did not sit well with Argentina

, especially after Spain controlled the final from start to finish.

La Roja dominated possession throughout the match

and, based on the performance, looked like the deserved champions before Ferran Torres delivered the goal that sealed the title.

As Argentina's disappointment turned into frustration,

Leandro Paredes became the center of attention for all the wrong reasons

. The midfielder had already done enough to earn a red card, and

his anger was clear in the closing moments

. Spain, however, chose

to answer that frustration with humor once the team returned home.

A banner stole the show during Spain's parade

Many fans felt Paredes' confrontation with Gavi was impossible to justify, prompting supporters to respond with a different kind of challenge.

During Spain's World Cup victory parade, one of the funniest moments came from

a fan-made banner that took aim at Argentina after the heated scenes in the final.

Players first noticed the sign because it featured Keyne, Lamine Yamal's younger brothe

r, on one side, and they decided to bring it onto the team bus. The surprise came when they turned it around. On the back was

a message calling for a "Velada del Año VII: Paredes vs. Gavi," turning the final's altercation into a mock boxing matchup.

Lamine Yamal enjoyed the joke

The message referred to the clash between Gavi and Leandro Paredes after the final whistle.

Gavi stepped in to defend Eric García after the defender became involved in a confrontation that escalated into a mass scuffle.

The banner immediately got laughs from Fabián Ruiz and Lamine Yamal,

who looked around for Gavi while pointing at it,

joking that the two should settle their feud at Ibai Llanos' famous boxing event.

Now it remains to be seen whether the joke goes any further

and Paredes embraces it with the same sense of humor, responds with the frustration that overtook him after the final, or simply chooses to stay out of the situation and let the moment pass without comment.
