Emiliano Martinez seemed to mock Kylian Mbappe and France as the Argentinian goalie and his teammates celebrated their FIFA World Cup 2022 triumph on Sunday. Even though Mbappe scored three goals past Martinez in the summit clash at Lusail, and later the Frenchman also scored his penalty it was not enough for his side as they lost 4-2 in the shootout.
After the match, Argentinian players celebrated their win in their dressing room, and while Nicolas Otamendi was live on Instagram, Martinez decided to take a brutal dig at Mbappe.
The golden glove winner asked his teammates for a minute's silence for the 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain attacker. It was all captured during Otamendi's Instagram live. All the Argentine players were dancing in a line, they briefly paused as Emiliano Martinez asked his teammates for a minute's silence, before resuming their celebrations.
