Emiliano Martinez ends up bowing to Mbappé

Emiliano Martinez, the last bastion of the Argentine selection, recognized that Kylian Mbappé was an extraordinary player.

Emiliano Martinez has great respect for Kylian Mbappé. Those who have any doubts on the subject just have to take a look at the latest interview given by the Albiceleste goalkeeper to France Football magazine.

Martinez recognizes the greatness of Mbappé

While he is a teammate and friend of Lionel Messi, Martinez did not hesitate to say that the next Ballon d’Or will be for the PSG star. “It’s not for nothing that he’s considered one of the best in the world and one of the best I’ve ever faced. I have a lot of respect for him. He’s going to win a lot of Ballons d’Or,” he confided, thus recognizing his immense talent.

These statements must please the French star, especially after what happened last year. In addition to frustrating him and his Blues partners in the World Cup final, Martinez had dared to make fun of him in the locker room by decreeing a minute of silence. During the celebrations in Buenos Aires, he also held up a doll in his likeness which he mistreated. Episodes that are now part of the past.

As a reminder, last Monday, Martinez received the Yashine trophy for his great 2022/2023 season. Mbappé left the ceremony empty-handed.
