Kylian Mbappe gives stone-faced reaction as Emi Martinez wins Fifa Best Goalkeeper award after mocking him at World Cup

KYLIAN MBAPPE was clearly unimpressed when Emi Martinez was named Best Fifa Men’s Goalkeeper.

World Cup final hat-trick scorer Mbappe sat stony-faced as the Argentina hero who mocked him after that epic clash in Qatar received his award.

Mbappe gave a chilling look but Martinez warmed the hearts of others in the audience, such as Lionel Messi and Arsene Wenger, with a tribute to his hard-working parents.

The Aston Villa stopper beat Morocco and Sevilla keeper Yassine Bounou and Belgium’s Real Madrid No1 Thibaut Courtois to the prize.

Martinez stunningly foiled Mbappe’s France strike-partner Randal Kolo Muani near the end of extra time in a classic World Cup final.

He then saved Kingsley Coman’s shootout penalty and distracted Aurelien Tchouameni before the Real Madrid midfielder pulled his spot-kick wide.

Martinez was one of the first to console Mbappe after Argentina’s 4-2 shootout triumph following a 3-3 draw.

But he later faced a major backlash for his strange dressing-room celebrations and taunting of the beaten PSG superstar.

The former Arsenal second-choice keeper called for a minute’s silence for “dead” Mbappe and held up a baby doll with the frontman’s face on it.

Martinez’s antics were particularly eccentric as he was right next to Mbappe’s club-mate Messi, who did not appear to react.

And Martinez has tried to rubbish claims he was trolling the pacy ace.

The 30-year-old told France Football: “I held it [baby doll] for like two minutes and I threw it away, that’s all.

“How can I make fun of Mbappe? He scored four past me. Four goals in a final! He must think I am his toy baby! I have huge respect for Mbappe.”

When receiving his Fifa award, Martinez said: “They always ask me who my idols are or who I watched when I was a kid…

“Watching my mum clean buildings for eight or nine hours and watching my dad work. They are my idols.”

Meanwhile, Messi pipped Mbappe to be named best male player.
