Crystal Palace boss and former France international Patrick Vieira believes Emiliano Martinez's "stupid" celebrations "took away" from Argentina's World Cup success.
Martinez was the hero in Argentina’s remarkable final victory over France thanks to a stunning last-gasp stop to deny striker Randal Kolo Muani in the closing minute of extra time before saving Kingsley Coman’s penalty in the shootout as Argentina won the trophy.
In the minutes after Argentina’s World Cup triumph was confirmed, the Aston Villa goalkeeper appeared to be winning graciously and comforted a disconsolate Kylian Mbappe. The Paris Saint-Germain striker netted a stunning hat-trick as he beat Lionel Messi to win the Golden Boot, scoring twice inside two minutes of normal time before scoring another penalty in extra time to once again equalise. He also found the net in the shootout.
