Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was one of the determining factors for the CONMEBOL team as Argentina won the FIFA World Cup 2022 championship in Qatar.
Martinez won the Golden Glove during the ceremony, and it was his celebration with the trophy that sparked a lot of debate. He held the trophy to his ground area in jubilation after getting it, much to everyone's amusement.
As per news reports, it was a repetition of the celebration he had after winning the best goalie prize in the Copa America in 2021.
Martinez called for a "minute of silence" for Kylian Mbappe during Argentina's celebrations in the locker room, and he proceeded to make fun of Mbappe throughout his nation's trophy parade.
Now, he has said that "The gesture I made with the best goalkeeper trophy was a joke with my team-mates. I had already done it at the Copa America, and they all said to me: 'No way' to do it again. Even Leo told me that. I did it for them, nothing more. It lasted a second and that was it".
