France striker, Kylian Mbappe was the only player who kept the FIFA World Cup 2022 against Argentina final alive for his side. While his side was trailing 2-0 in the 90-minute time, the 2018 World Cup winner struck twice to keep the game alive. The game went into extra time in which Lionel Messi and Mbappe kept their team in the game with one strike each.

However, in the penalty shootout, the Albiceleste won by the margin of 4-2. In the shootout, Mbappe and Messi both scored a goal during their turns. After the win, the newly-crowned champions celebrated inside their dressing. During the course, their goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez trolled the PSG star, Mbappe.

For those who don’t know, it all started after the 23-year-old, Mbappe said that European football has a much higher level that Southern Americas

“The advantage we have in Europe is that we play among ourselves with high-level matches all the time, such as the Nations League. When we arrive at the World Cup, we are ready, whereas, Brazil and Argentina do not have this level in South America. Football is not as adavanced as in Europe. That’s why at the last World Cups, its always the Europeans who win,” Mbappe was quoted by Sports Bible.

Mbappe’s comments didn’t go down well with Martinez and the latter said ‘when you don’t have this experience, it may be better not to talk about it.’ “He doesn’t know enough about football. He never played in South America. When you don’t have this experience, it may be better not to talk about it. But it doesn’t matter. We are a great team, recognised as such,” said Martinez ahead of France vs Argentina final clash.
