Emiliano Martinez has claimed that he knew Aurelien Tchouameni was going to be "nervous" before he missed his penalty as Argentina beat France in the World Cup final at Lusail Stadium.
The Real Madrid midfielder squandered the chance to get Les Bleus back into the shootout as he fired his spot-kick wide of the mark as Argentina ran out 4-2 winners on penalties. In a topsy-turvy encounter, La Albiceleste and France couldn't be separated as the game ended 3-3 after the extra-time.
Kylian Mbappe struck a hat-trick, while Lionel Messi grabbed a brace for Argentina in one of the most bonkers finals in the history of the competition. Although France seemed to have the momentum going into penalties, Martinez helped change the pattern of play as he saved Kingsley Coman's penalty and put off Tchouameni.
