Post-match, after Brazil’s heavy defeat to Argentina in World Cup qualifying
Raphinha was involved in a heated tunnel incident following Brazil’s loss to Argentina, stemming from provocative pre-match comments and on-field tension.
As Raphinha exited toward the locker room, he was intentionally bumped by Emiliano Martínez, prompting an altercation with Leandro Paredes. Raphinha tried to confront them but was held back by Endrick and escorted away by Joelinton. Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni played down the clash, forgiving Raphinha and attributing the comments to motivational intent.
