French footballer Kylian Mbappe has finally addressed goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for demeaning him after Argentina’s World Cup victory over France.
Recall that Martinez has continuously mocked Mbappe after the World Cup win.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper had called for a ‘moment of silence’ in the dressing room after the win and was pictured holding a doll with Mbappe‘s face in Buenos Aires.
24-year-old Mbappe who has been silent through it all, broke silence on Wednesday evening, December.

“I talked with him after the match.
I congratulated him.
For him it was a life goal.
For me too, but I lost, so I have to be a good sport.
Celebrations are not my problem, I don’t waste time on such trivial things,” the French footballer had this to say.
When asked about his thoughts on Martinez’s celebrations, Mbappe was quoted saying by RMC Sport and BBC that “celebrations are not my problem“.
“Don’t waste energy on such futile things, the important thing for me is to give the best of myself for my club,” he added.
The French footballer, however, said he will never get over the disappointment of losing the World Cup final.
“I think I’m never going to get over it,” Mbappe added.
