Emiliano Martinez has been dubbed by the French media as the most hated Argentine ever. It all began with the psychological antics he was pulling off during the penalty shootout in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final versus France before his crazy celebrations as well as his constant trolling of France’s Kylian Mbappe.
He was absolutely integral to Argentina winning the World Cup as his last minute save in extra time ensured Lionel Messi and Argentina won the World Cup.
The media have literally torn Martinez into shreds by labelling his celebrations as childish, unprofessional and embarrassing. But within this controversy is an inspiring journey to the World Cup final as Martinez only just a few years ago was actually warming Arsenal’s bench with no real direction for his career to follow in order to progress.
This is the controversial rise of Emiliano Martinez.

Just want to make one quick correction.
At 10:16 I said "Argentina cemented their place in the final". I meant the semifinal not the final. They faced Croatia in the semis before going on to meet France in the final.
Sorry for the error.
They can honestly keep crying. If they wanna do the same thing too, then maybe they should’ve won first
The target on that man’s back for any major tournament he does moving forward…. Sheeeshhh
People always in their feelings the man did what he had to and he celebrated as he pleased
Most hated Argentine ever
Perón, Alberto, Cristina: YOU DARE OPPOSE US MORTAL?
Videla, Galtieri: YOU DARE OPPOSE US MORTAL?
You guys really hate Emi? Let us know.
only french hate him amd some bullshit media😂 we love him, he is a hero along with di maria, messi, and all the teamates. he made argentine dream came true❤
The most hated argentine ever is Cristina Kirchner, everyone else is just salty due to losing a game.
they can keep crying all they want..the football world is indebted to him for helping messi with his first copa america and the thing he desired the most..THE WORLD CUP
Showing the trophy to the fans as a continuation of his dick in front of presidents and politicians was delightful.
He got the World Cup, that's the only thing he wanted from the start. Respect.
Football wise, I'm sure the most hated Argentinian is Icardi
Jaco Pastorius (the world's best bass player) once said: It is not bragging if you can play it. This applies perfectly here, can't imagine how CR7 would do to win the world cup.
All I see is a 🐐
bully martinez
I love him to the bone
Let bro live. It was in his hands, it officially belonged to him so he can do whatever he wants with it. LMAO.
Niggas hate us regardless I understand how people view us but those are stereotypes I love everybody but if you don’t fuck with me then it’s fuck you
only france people and pendu lovers who hate him..everyone is free to celebrate victory including emi. he also did the same celebration in the final copa america. so you don't need to be offended and hate him.. france stop cry..
You made fun of Messi and argentina when you beat Argentina in 2018 and now it's your turn.. be a man stop crying and accept the fact even though it hurts.
#franceStopCry
You can't hate someone you don't know.
The criticism of Dibu Martínez is simply envy.
LOVE YOU EMI
