A photo of Emiliano Martinez holding a baby doll with Kylian Mbappe’s face while doing a World Cup victory parade in Buenos Aires has sparked debate in Africa with the Argentina goalkeeper facing a backlash from fans.
Despite conceding four goals against Mbappe in the final at Lusail Stadium, the 30-year-old Martinez turned the hero for the Albicelestes as he stopped two penalties to deny Les Bleus a chance to defend the title.
However, his celebrations after the final whistle, left a lot to be desired, first, he mocked the 23-year-old Mbappe in the dressing room immediately after the win.
And on Tuesday during the victory parade attended by millions of fans, he turned up with a baby doll wearing Mbappe's face and this has not gone down well with a section of African fans on social media.
Below are comments from the fans as compiled by GOAL.
