Patrick Vieira has criticised Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for his celebrations after their World Cup final win over France.
Martinez saved Kingsley Coman‘s penalty in the shootout and threw the ball away before Aurelien Tchouameni dragged his spot-kick wide.

Following the epic final, Martinez picked up the “Golden Glove” award for being the best goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup but celebrated with a vulgar gesture.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper was also filmed mocking France star Kylian Mbappe in the dressing room and during the team’s return to Argentina for their open-top bus parade.
France legend Vieira was asked about Martinez’s behaviour and said the player’s antics have overshadowed his great performances during the World Cup.
