The French press has named Emiliano Martinez as the 'most hated Argentine' after his behaviour in the World Cup final as La Albiceleste overcame France on penalties.
Martinez was the star of the show for Argentina in the shootout as he saved one penalty to help his nation win the accolade for the third time in their history. The Aston Villa goalkeeper also made a crucial stop to deny Randal Kolo Muani, whose 123rd-minute effort was flying towards the corner of the net.
After winning the Golden Glove award, Martinez decided to celebrate by making a rude gesture with the gong as he held it over his private parts. The 30-year-old has since explained he made the gesture because French fans were booing him following Argentina's thrilling victory over Les Bleus.
