Media accuses Martinez of committing obscene acts with Mbappe

Qatar According to Marca, Emiliano Martinez made an obscene gesture while standing in front of Kylian Mbappe in the 2022 World Cup final.

In the Netflix documentary "Captains of the World," viewers spotted a controversial scene that quickly went viral on social media. The scene shows Mbappe bending down to pick up the ball before taking a penalty kick, Martinez approaching and making a gesture with his pelvis at the same level as the French player's face.

"The image shows Martinez's obscene gesture towards Mbappe," Marca wrote.

The Spanish newspaper also said that the newly discovered situation was reminiscent of another obscene gesture made by Martinez after the final: placing the Golden Glove - the award for the best goalkeeper of the tournament - in his crotch. The Argentine goalkeeper was criticized by some viewers for this rude and unprofessional action in front of officials and leaders of football governing bodies. Meanwhile, Martinez explained that it was just a moment of fun and did not mean to offend anyone.

The 2022 World Cup final was a night of ups and downs for Mbappe. The French striker scored a hat-trick, but could not win his second world championship. After a 3-3 draw after 120 minutes, Argentina won 4-2 on penalties.

Martinez made a big contribution to Argentina's victory when he saved Kolo Muani's one-on-one shot in the 120+3 minute. In the penalty shootout, he continued to block Kingsley Coman's shot and put pressure on Aurelien Tchouameni to force a shot wide. Following his World Cup success, Martinez won the FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year award and the Yashin Trophy from France Football magazine.

Martinez will continue to play for Aston Villa after the World Cup. Aston Villa are becoming a phenomenon when they are ranked second in the Premier League 2023-2024, with 42 points after 20 matches, only three points behind Liverpool. If they maintain their achievements in the remaining period, they will participate in the Champions League next season.
