He had not spoken since the final lost in Qatar during the last World Cup. It is now done and Kylian Mbappé already seems to have turned the page. Indeed, the French team lost on penalties against Argentina’s Leo Messi in the World Cup final a few days ago. Following this defeat, the French genius was insulted and made fun of by the Argentine fans, and in particular some Albiceleste players to comment on by his goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez.
If the latter came to console his opponent at the end of the match, he did not fail to have fun in the minutes that followed and even the days after. First by asking for a “minute of silence for Mbappé” when he celebrated his victory with his teammates in the locker room. Then when Argentina paraded through the streets of Buenos Aires to proudly display their trophy. But Emiliano Martinez’s trophy was not the World Cup. The doorman preferred to take a baby doll and stick the face of the PSG striker to him to pay his way…
Kylian Mbappé responds to Emiliano Martinez
A behavior that caused a strong reaction all over the world. Many find Emiliano Martinez’s behavior childish. Especially since the player whose head he has managed to force him to get the ball in the back of his net four times. The best way to respond to these attacks is through terrain. And the two men could meet sooner than expected, in February, in the knockout stages of the Champions League when PSG will face Bayern Munich. The Bavarian club having their sights on who was elected best goalkeeper of the World Cup.
However, the reunion would not be so electric as evidenced by the reaction of Kylian Mbappé this Wednesday, December 28 after the victory of his club against Strasbourg. Asked about his relationship with Leo Messi and Emiliano Martinez’s celebrations, the player said: “I spoke with him (Messi: editor’s note) after the match. I congratulated him because it is the quest of a lifetime for him”. And to respond to the Argentinian goalkeeper, Kylian Mbappé assured: “and celebrations are not my problem. I don’t waste my time and energy on such trivial things”. End of the war?
