The French Football Association filed a complaint regarding Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez’s taunting of superstar Kylian Mbappe.
The president of the French Football Association has filed a complaint in this regard to the president of the Argentina Football Association. After the World Cup final match, videos and pictures of Martinez mocking Mbappe in the dressing room and at the Victory Parade in Argentina were released on social media.
A letter sent by French FA president Noel Le Gret said Martinez’s actions were “excessive”. In the context of a sporting event, I think this excess is unusual. He says that this is a very despicable thing.
A video emerged of Martinez asking for a moment of silence for Mbappe during the celebration in the dressing room. After that, a picture of Mirtines holding a baby doll with Mbappe’s face in his hand was released at the Victory Parade in Buenos Aires. A picture of Mbappe is pasted in place of the doll’s face.
Argentina was in the lead until the first 80 minutes of the match, but Mbappe brought France together with a brilliant performance. Although France lost, Mbappe was the superstar of the final with a hat-trick.
