France launch an official complaint over Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez's taunting of Kylian Mbappe in wake of World Cup final defeat, after he held a DOLL with star's face on it during victory parade and staged a mock minute's silence for him

Emiliano Martinez is the subject of an official complaint from the French FA for his actions in the wake of his country's World Cup victory over France, having consistently mocked striker Kylian Mbappe.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper was spotted carrying around a doll with Mbappe's face taped to it during the celebrations in Buenos Aires, and even called for a mock moment's silence in the dressing room after the game.

As a result he has been branded the 'most hated man in football' by 2018 World Cup winner Adil Rami, with the Argentine goalkeeper continuing to fan the flame with his conduct.
