'I don’t waste my energy on such FUTILE things': Kylian Mbappe dismisses Emiliano Martinez's celebrations as 'not my problem' after the goalkeeper taunted him following Argentina's World Cup triumph over France

Kylian Mbappe has insisted he's 'not bothered' by Emiliano Martinez's continued taunts following Argentina's World Cup triumph over France.

Martinez, who was Argentina's hero in the penalty shootout, has been goading Mbappe following the Qatar showpiece, which saw the Aston Villa goalkeeper hold a baby doll with the PSG star's face on it during a open-top bus parade in Buenos Aires last week.

To make matters worse, Martinez held the Mbappe doll aloft while stood next to the 24-year-old's PSG team-mate Lionel Messi. This also followed Martinez brutally mocking Mbappe during Argentina's dressing room celebrations by calling for a minute's silence for the French striker.
