He took three goals from Kylian Mbappé. And we could add the successful shot on goal by the tricolor striker to respond to Lionel Messi. But obviously, that’s not enough. Too happy to have been the other hero of the final for Argentina by being decisive in the penalty shootout, Emiliano Martinez has since continued to target Mbappé.

While he had already been talked about by celebrating in a vulgar way after receiving the “Golden Glove” trophy for being named best goalkeeper of a tournament, Dibu “Martinez first wanted to chamber Mbappé in the locker room a few minutes after the Albiceleste was crowned. Stopping a caterpillar of his partners, he asked “A minute of silence… for Mbappé“. The video had then gone viral on social networks. And in the euphoria of victory, it is not very surprising, nor dramatic in itself.

A doll with a photo of Mbappé
Two days later, Emiliano Martinez did it again, demonstrating his obsession with Mbappé. This time it’s during the celebrations in the heart of Buenos Aires. In the midst of a delirious crowd who came to celebrate this third Argentinian world title, the Aston Villa goalkeeper appeared on the bus with a doll with a photo of Mbappé as his face. A surprising attitude, especially since he went to see the French star after the match on the lawn to greet him.
In any case, it’s not really very classy for a world champion, who doesn’t really need that in these festive hours. To make matters worse, the photo taken with the doll shows him alongside Lionel Messi, who may have to say a word to Mbappé in the Parisian locker room on his return to Paris. For Emiliano Martinez, on the other hand, it may not be so bad for him that he is not likely to meet the Blues striker again with Aston Villa immediately…
