Kylian Mbappe finally responds to Emiliano Martinez "s***housery" during World Cup final

Kylian Mbappe has admitted he will never get over the heartbreak of the Qatar World Cup but is not interested in getting into any kind of rivalry with Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Though the Frenchman actually put four past the Albiceleste shot-stopper on the day if his penalty in the shoot-out is included, Martinez has been relentless in his taunting and goading of Mbappe after Argentina's victory earlier this month.

The final was truly one for the ages, with Mbappe all but cementing his status as the player who will take over from Lionel Messi as the world's greatest once the 35-year-old hangs up his boots. While Messi bagged a brace in the final, Mbappe netted a hat-trick - becoming just the second player to do so in a World Cup final after England's Geoff Hurst in 1966.
