Emiliano Martinez, the goalie for Argentina, attracted a lot of attention for making fun of French star Kylian Mbappe during the FIFA World Cup-winning bus procession, but for all the wrong reasons.
In the championship match, Argentina defeated France 4-2 (3-3) to win the FIFA World Cup 2022 trophy. After a 36-year absence, the South American country finally captured the prized medal. However, the triumph bus parade that was held in the capital city of Buenos Aires to commemorate the win of the Lionel Messi-led team attracted a lot of attention for the wrong reasons as Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made fun of the French star Kylian Mbappe. Martinez was spotted cradling a baby doll featuring Kylian Mbappe during the bus parade.
As a result, he received a lot of criticism on social media from people who called out the Argentine goalie for his cruel behaviour.

Mbappe, though, responded to the event in a very collected manner and called it a “futile thing.”
“Holidays are not my concern. I don’t waste my time on such pointless pursuits, “Mbappe spoke with RMC Sport, according to BBC Sport.
In response to the goalie making fun of Mbappe during the victory parade of the Argentina national football team, Noel Le Graet, president of the French Football Federation, has formally complained to the Argentina Football Association (AFA).
Le Great was described by Ouest-France as saying, “I wrote to my colleague from the Argentine Federation, I find these excesses extraordinary, in the context of a sporting competition, and I find it difficult to explain.” “This is overreaching. Mbappe has demonstrated excellent conduct.”
On the other hand, Martinez’s contentious World Cup celebrations will be brought up with Aston Villa boss Unai Emery when Martinez returns to club duties with the Premier League team. Argentina defeated France in a dramatic championship game as Martinez made a crucial save to stop Randal Kolo Muani in extra time and then Kingsley Coman in a penalty shootout in Qatar.
