Argentina committed one final act of bad sportsmanship after losing to Spain in an ugly World Cup Final.
Lionel Messi, who was savagely yanked back by Trump in an excruciating moment, was denied his dream farewell as conspiracy theories were put to a firm end after his final World Cup act.
Ferran Torres scored an extra-time winner, before an Argentina star attacked two Spain players and was sent off after the final whistle.
It was simply the latest in a long line of ugly acts from Argentina, who failed to register a shot in 90 minutes and resorted to predictably dirty tactics in an attempt to disrupt Spain’s rhythm and break up the game. It comes as a lip reader exposed FIFA boss Gianni Infantino's desperate plea to Trump that he ignored in a humiliating moment.

And even long after the full-time whistle was gone, they seemed in no mood to show much sportsmanship or respect for the winners. As Spain’s players made their way to the podium to collect their medals from Trump, who was humiliated by a key player in front of the cameras, after they had given Argentina a guard of honor, the losing team stood with their backs to the winners.
Tears flowed from Messi as he was seranaded one last time by the Argentina fans behind one goal. And the Argentina players remained stood in a line with their back to Spain throughout them receiving their medals and eventually lifting the trophy, before making a sharp exit from the pitch.
After scoring the winner, Ferran Torres said: ”I think in the end the goal came from 47 million people, not just those of us that are here. Today destiny was written, it was made for us to win. We're far from our people today but we tried to be as close as possible to them.
"Finals are hard. When you have Messi on the opposing team you do get worried but we always backed ourselves and tried to show our football and I think we managed to do it once again.
"A huge relief [to score]. I've been criticized throughout the whole tournament but as as I said before destiny was written. Thanks to God, he always gives me the strength to continue and in the end he grants things to those that most deserve them."

Manager Luis de la Fuente added: "So much pride. Pride for this generation of footballers that have been growing with this idea, staying loyal to the idea, and doing their best.
"They are an example of a team, a group, a family, and a collective of great players that have been exceptional. I'm just so proud to have accompanied them on this journey, to have been there with them on this trajectory is an honour.
"I can't really tell you how I feel. All I can say was it was worth it. Of course at the moment I am very emotional, particularly having watched from behind the scenes.

"I have spoken so much to the players, who said to me, 'Boss, we've won it all', and it's marvellous. This generation of players is an example for Spanish sport, for the Spanish youth. Together we are much stronger, and that is why we don't forget anyone.
"Of course we would have liked to win the game much sooner. The Martinez save prevented us from doing so. We tried and tried to get on the scoresheet but weren't able to, but this is a World Cup final, even against ten men at the end we had to suffer. But, we like to suffer, and I'll say it again, we were prepared for everything."
