What would a post-World Cup celebration of Argentina be without a more or less light joke from Emiliano Martinez? The Albiceleste goalkeeper distinguished himself again on Thursday at the Monumental in Buenos Aires, in an incredibly festive atmosphere around the first home match since the coronation in Qatar.

On the sidelines of the friendly victory against Panama (2-0), the Aston Villa goalkeeper repeated his gesture in bad taste. Yes, the same one he did after being awarded the trophy of best goalkeeper of the World Cup. "Dibu" Martinez was imitated this time by his teammates Germán Pezzella, Guido Rodríguez, Gerónimo Rulli and Marcos Acuña, hilarious.

Yet he had made his mea culpa

In an interview broadcast on ESPN on February 22, the hero of the final against France (3-3, 4-2 on penalties) had however described his action as "stupid". "But it's the only thing I'm not proud to have done," added the 30-year-old Argentine, who had already made this gesture after being crowned best goalkeeper of the Copa America 2021.



We are now waiting for other images of the evening to see if "Dibu" Martinez also brought out the baby with the effigy of Kylian Mbappé lugged during the triumphal parade of the Albiceleste in the streets of Buenos Aires, on his return from Qatar.
