Respeten los rangos became a catchphrase among Argentina supporters after clips of Rodrigo De Paul using the expression circulated on social media. In Spanish football slang it points to dressing room hierarchy, where experienced internationals and leaders earn a different status. Fans quickly turned the short line into a reusable meme for edits, replies and WhatsApp audios, especially around the selección and its senior figures. Its popularity survives because the phrase works outside football too, whenever someone jokingly pulls rank in a group chat or argument.
