French Sports Minister Amelie Odia-Castra accused Argentina’s players of being ‘vulgar winners’ and ‘vulgar’ for mocking their countryman’s star Kylian Mbappe after winning the FIFA World Cup final.
The minister told French radio station RTL, “As much as our French team knows how to lose with a pancake, so the way the Argentine team acted after this victory was not worthy of the match”.
Oudea-Castera ejected goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who was seen at the victory parade in Buenos Aires holding a baby doll whose face was covered by a picture of French star Mbappe.
