Paredes humiliated Rodrygo.

Rodrygo Goes provoked a confrontation and was subsequently mocked by his opponents during Brazil's 1-4 defeat to Argentina in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on the morning of March 26th.

Paredes mocked Rodrygo for not having won any titles at the national team level.

The incident occurred in the first half of the Argentina vs. Brazil match. Rodrygo ran past Leandro Paredes and said, "You're a terrible guy." The Argentinian midfielder immediately retorted, "I have one World Cup, two Copa Americas, and you, you've won nothing."

Besides taunting Rodrygo, Paredes was also involved in a scuffle at the end of the first half. After witnessing Nicolas Tagliafico being pushed by Raphinha, the AS Roma midfielder rushed over and forcefully shoved the Brazilian player, after which a heated argument ensued between the two.

The "South American Superclásico" didn't live up to fans' expectations, with Argentina demonstrating overwhelming strength against their arch-rivals.

The reigning world champions scored three goals in the first half, courtesy of Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, and Alexis Mac Allister. Conversely, Brazil only managed a consolation goal from Matthew Cunha.

In the second half, the "Samba Dancers" watched helplessly as the home team performed their Tango dance. After a series of missed opportunities, Argentina sealed a 4-1 victory with a goal from Giuliano Simeone in the 71st minute. This was the first time since 1959 that Argentina had scored four goals against Brazil in a single match.

This result helps Argentina maintain their top spot in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the South American region. However, this is not too important, as Lionel Messi and his teammates have already secured their place in North America next year.

Meanwhile, Brazil dropped to fourth place and still face the risk of having to play in the play-offs.
