Emiliano Martinez, the target of the Minister of Sports Hexagon

Emiliano Martinez became the object of all the criticism from both the French fans and several public figures.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper has made several disrespectful gestures towards Kylian Mbappe, the player who scored a hat-trick for him in the grand final.

The first took place right after the match, when the Cougar goalkeeper called for a moment of silence to honor the memory of the Paris Saint-Germain star.

The next thing happened right at the Argentine parade in Buenos Aires, when the goalkeeper had a doll with the face of Kylian Mbappe.

Amelie Oudea-Castera, France’s sports minister, reacted to the behavior of the South Americans, but especially to goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

“I find it pathetic. The more our French team knew how to lose with dignity, the more this Argentina team behaved after this victory, which was not worthy of the match we saw.

This is absolutely vulgar and not to the point.

This Emiliano Martinez could not stand out in this case, on the contrary, he was pathetic.” – she told.
