England's Jude Bellingham struck Argentina's Valentín Barco on the back of the head following their World Cup semi-final in Atlanta on Wednesday, a confrontation that capped a tense 2-1 defeat for England.
The incident occurred after the final whistle as Argentina celebrated advancing to the World Cup final. Barco, the 21-year-old Strasbourg defender, had earlier celebrated Enzo Fernández's equaliser in front of the England bench, a gesture that appeared to fuel post-match tensions. The Real Madrid midfielder, 23, apologised to English supporters for the tournament exit, saying he was sorry.
The match was officiated by referee Elfath. Argentina now awaits their opponent in the final.
