Argentina hero Emiliano Martinez taunts Kylian Mbappe by holding baby doll with his face on after World Cup final drama
EMILIANO MARTINEZ taunted Kylian Mbappe once again by clutching a baby doll with his face on it during Argentina’s World Cup celebrations.
The Argentines beat France on penalties after a thrilling match in Qatar – which saw the Frenchman become the first player since Sir Geoff Hurst to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.

Martinez, labelled a “s***house” for his antics during the final, aimed a dig at Mbappe in the dressing room after the game.
The Aston Villa stopper demanded a minute’s silence for the “dead” Mbappe.
And he has continued his bizarre beef with the 24-year-old during Argentina’s celebrations back home in Buenos Aires.
The goalkeeper, who donned nothing but shorts, a hat and sunglasses while on the bus parade, was pictured cradling a toy baby with Mbappe’s face stuck on.
This whole ordeal happened next to Lionel Messi, who scored twice and was crucial in the build-up to his side’s other goal.
While Messi did not appear to react to the dig, Mbappe may end up raising the issue when they meet up next at club level.
The pair have been in terrific form for Paris Saint-Germain this season, with Mbappe contributing 24 goals and Messi 26.
Messi was thrown a toy turtle during one stage of the celebrations, prompting a laugh from the former Barcelona star.

This is in reference to Mbappe’s nickname in the PSG dressing room, Donatello, one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The celebrations in Buenos Aires have seen MILLIONS of people line the streets in order to celebrate the South American nation’s third World Cup victory – and first since 1986.
However, it has not all been fun and games, with the party descending into chaos and tragically leaving one fan dead and a young boy in a coma.
