Kylian Mbappé may not consider Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez a friend, but he certainly seems to have learned to celebrate from the World Cup winner.
Martínez caused controversy in the celebrations after the World Cup final, where after winning the tournament’s Gold Glove award, he appeared to make an inappropriate gesture with the trophy he was holding between his legs.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper at the time explained that his actions were in response to booing from disappointed French supporters on the pitch.

FIFA then announced that it was launching an investigation into the actions of the Argentine team after they beat France on penalties to win the 2022 World Cup final.
However, despite being the thorn in the side of Mbappe and France’s side during the final in Qatar, Mbappe has been caught on camera and appears to be celebrating with another trophy in similar fashion.

Mbappé, clearly joking with his teammates, catches their eye before quickly replicating the same gesture as Martinez’s at the World Cup.
The video then ends with the mega-talented 22-year-old walking away to join other attendees.

Mbappé and Martínez previously clashed in the global spotlight and the Argentine used several opportunities to taunt the Frenchman.
Martínez first did a mock moment of silence in the Argentina dressing room for Mbappé before going a step further, carrying a toy baby with the French striker’s face on it.
