Mbappe Responds To Martinez World Cup Taunts, Reveals Message To Messi Ahead Of PSG Reunion
After a winning return to action with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe responded to taunts from Argentina World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez.
Mbappe returned to club action less than two weeks after suffering World Cup heartbreak as France lost in the final to Argentina. Mbappe was asked about Argentina goalkeeper Martinez, who held a baby doll with the striker’s face stuck to it during trophy celebrations in his homeland last week, after scoring an injury-time penalty to help PSG beat Strasbourg in Ligue 1.

“Celebrations are not my problem,” the 23-year-old said in a classy response after PSG’s 2-1 win. “Don’t waste energy on such futile things, the important thing for me is to give the best of myself for my club.”
Mbappe also spoke about his upcoming meeting with Argentina captain Lionel Messi at Parc des Princes, saying: “We’ll have to wait for Leo to return before we can keep scoring and winning games. After the final, I spoke with him and congratulated him. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, as it was for me, but I failed, so you must always be a good sport.”
The Frenchman scored a hat-trick for his country in the World Cup final, forcing Argentina to go all the way to a penalty shootout. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to assist them in crossing the finish line. Martinez has since been photographed taking aim at Mbappe with his celebrations on several occasions, having previously questioned the PSG star’s football knowledge prior to the showpiece in response to his controversial comments about the standard of South American qualifying.
