Le Graet reported that he has written an official letter of protest to AFA president Claudio Tapia to express his concerns regarding the circumstance. “I wrote to my counterpart from the Argentine Federation, I find these excesses abnormal, in the context of a sports competition, and I find it difficult to understand,” he conceded. “This is going too far. Mbappe’s behavior has been exemplary.”

Long before the game even started, Mbappe and Martinez were already at odds after the former argued that European countries enter competitions like the World Cup better prepared. Before the World Cup, Mbappe sparked a controversy when he said, ‘football in South America is not as advanced as in Europe.’
“The advantage we have in Europe is that we play among ourselves with high-level matches all the time, such as the Nations League for example. When we arrive at the World Cup, we are ready, whereas Brazil and Argentina do not have this level in South America. Football is not as advanced as in Europe. That’s why at the last World Cups, it was always the Europeans who won,” he was quoted saying
Additionally, a French minister demanded that FIFA look into Emiliano Martinez’s behaviour after Argentina defeated France in the World Cup final.
