A video shot from the stands, which recently appeared on the nets, shows how Cristian Romero got into Kylian Mbappé’s room when Argentina scored their third goal against France in the 2022 World Cup final on 18 December in Qatar (3-3, 4 table a 2).
Kylian Mbappé had really gotten into their heads. The players of the Argentine team did everything to try to destabilize the France striker during the 2022 World Cup final, on December 18 in Qatar (3-3, 4 tabs to 2). Without much success. A video recently appeared on the networks and filmed from the stands of the Lusail stadium shows the attitude of Cristian Romero during the third Albiceleste goal, scored by Lionel Messi in extra time.
When Pulga duped Hugo Lloris, the Tottenham defender rushed towards Kylian Mbappé to yell at him. Before you even think about celebrating with your partners. Faced with the provocative behavior of his opponent, the PSG star deflects, perhaps thinking that the ball has not fully entered the goal. Romero does the same.
This scene adds to all those that accompanied Argentina’s third world title. Lionel Scaloni’s players have largely trod Mbappé following their success in the Middle East, most notably by blasting songs in the locker room, then during celebrations with their fans in Buenos Aires.
An anti-Mbappé wave in Argentina
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was noted for his lewd attitude as he lifted a stuffed toy with Bondy crack while standing next to Messi on a double-decker bus. More generally, a wave of anti-Mbappé videos from Argentina has been making the rounds on the networks. With sometimes racist remarks in passing.
Author of a sensational hat-trick during this anthology final, the number 10 of the Blues did not want to respond to these attacks, making sure he was ready to “win games” with Leo Messi in the Parisian shirt. “I don’t waste energy on such trivial things,” he explained last week, on the sidelines of his return to competition against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 (2-1).
