After a winning return to action with Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe responded to taunts from Argentina World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez.
Less than two weeks after experiencing World Cup misery with France as they fell to Argentina in the final, Mbappe made his comeback to club play.
The French player was questioned about the constant teasing he received from Argentina goalkeeper Martinez, who clutched a baby doll with the striker’s face glued to it during trophy celebrations in his country last week. He responded: “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.”
Additionally, Mbappe spoke on his upcoming reunion with Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina, at Parc des Princes, adding “We will wait for Leo to come back to continue scoring and winning games. 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.”
