In case you thought winning the World Cup would make Emi Martinez humble, you were wrong, as he poked fun at Kylian Mbappe in the celebrations.

In arguably the greatest World Cup final of all time, it was Argentina who won their first World Cup in 36 years following a penalty shoot-out win over France.

Not only in Argentina, but football fans across the world rejoiced as Lionel Messi cemented his place in history with his long awaited World Cup medal.

Key to Messi and Argentina's success was Emi Martinez, who not for the first time in this tournament, made crucial saves to keep Argentina's dream alive.

Having only made his international debut in 2021, the Aston Villa goalkeeper has been crucial during Lionel Scaloni's time in charge.

The Aston Villa goalkeeper made another save in a penalty shoot-out to deny Kingsley Coman, with his mind games also playing a part.

The 23-year-old made history by becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final since Geoff Hurst in 1966.

With his achievements at such a young age, there is no doubt that Mbappe will claim the biggest prizes in football for years to come.

Despite conceding three goals to the PSG striker, Emi Martinez found time to mock Mbappe in Argentina's post match celebrations.

Videos have emerged from Argentina's dressing room following victory, where the squad is dancing around and singing songs. Not one to hole back, Martinez then said, "A minute of silence for Mbappe", with the team stopping for a moment before continuing to celebrate.

Throughout his career, Martinez has never held back when celebrating, and he kept up that tradition yesterday.

While he is a safe pair of hands, he showed yesterday a random moment is never too far away.
