As a result of his two saves in the shootout and his crucial save in extra time to stop Randal Kolo Muani, Emiliano Martinez was Argentina’s hero in Qatar as his country defeated France in the final on Sunday.
Martinez was caught on camera making fun of Mbappe, who scored a hat trick in the championship game to take home the tournament’s Golden Boot, during Argentina’s post-World Cup celebrations in the locker room.
Why was Emiliano Martinez holding a doll of Kylian Mbappe?
Additionally, Martinez continued to make fun of Mbappe by carrying a doll with a picture of the France striker’s face during Tuesday’s bus parade after a fan threw it at him.
To make matters worse, Martinez was positioned next to Lionel Messi, a teammate of Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain, while holding the doll. Alongside, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask, which has also been used to mock Mbappe in the past, was thrown at Messi by a fan during the bus parade on Monday night. Messi laughed it off.
Argentina National Team was airlifted during the street parade
The bus was supposed to travel an 18-mile route, but after spectators jumped onto the bus from a bridge, Argentina’s players had to be airlifted back to the team’s training facility outside of Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires, more than 4 million people had gathered to cheer on the team.
