Emilano Martinez shared a funny Lionel Messi GOAT meme and trolled Kylian Mbappe after Argentina’s World Cup final victory over France. The Aston Villa goalkeeper is famed for his s***housery on the pitch, and it now appears that extends to the dressing room and social media. Martinez certainly played his part in helping his nation to victoryGetty Messi finally got his hands on the World Cup trophyGetty The South Americans took a commanding 2-0 lead in the World Cup final in Qatar on Sunday, thanks to early goals from Messi and Angel Di Maria. However, Mbappe’s late brace turned the match on its head and sent the game into extra-time. Messi made it 3-2 with his seventh goal on the tournament, but Mbappe levelled with his hat-trick goal late on, meaning penalties were required. Argentina secured victory in the end, with Martinez keeping out one of France’s spot kicks, which meant Les Bleus surrendered their crown, and celebrations were ecstatic with the shot-stopper in the thick of it. The 30-year-old posted a hilarious meme on Twitter showing a picture of Messi with the captain: ‘Select all images with a goat.’ More Martinez moments followed, with in a video shared on social media showing the goalkeeper asking his teammates to hold a ‘minute’s silence’ for Mbappe after France’s defeat. pic.twitter.com/4CiXXXbLOh— Emi Martínez (@emimartinezz1) December 18, 2022 Most read in Football UNSAVOURY 'It's not gamesmanship' - Martinez cheated in World Cup final, says Jordan box office Elon Musk reveals Kylian Mbappe's comeback goals breaks World Cup Twitter record explained What is a Bisht?

It was captured on Nicolas Otamendi’s Instagram after the ex-Manchester City centre-back went live on the platform. Mbappe had put three goals past him, including two in the space of 95 seconds in a crazy period, with the other in the penalty shootout. Martinez did console the 23-year-old at full-time, but the Aston Villa goalkeeper was clearly getting his own back following comments made by the Paris Saint-Germain forward prior to the match.

Football is not as advanced as in Europe. That’s why at the last World Cups, it’s always the Europeans who win.” It seems Martinez got the last laugh, but Mbappe will surely go on to get his hands on another World Cup crown in the future.
