After making a victorious comeback with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian ‘Mbappé responded to taunts from Argentina World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez.
Less than two weeks had passed since Mbappe experienced World Cup misery with France when they fell short to Argentina in the final.
After Mbappe scored an injury-time penalty to help PSG defeat Strasbourg in a Ligue 1 match, he was questioned about the constant mocking of him by Argentina goalkeeper Martinez, who held a baby doll with the striker’s face stuck to it during trophy celebrations in his homeland last week.
“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.”
‘Mbappé also discussed his upcoming reunion with Argentina captain Lionel Messi at Parc des Princes, adding: “We will wait for Leo to come back to continue scoring and winning games.
He revealed the message he sent to Messi, saying that he congratulated the Argentina Star.
Mbappe said, “I spoke with him after the final, I congratulated him. It was the quest of a lifetime for him, for me too, but I failed, so you always have to be a good sport.”
