The hidden gesture of Dibu Martínez that provoked the anger of Kylian Mbappé in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup

It is incredible how the passage of time allows us to discover new stories about a feat, in this case, a sporting one. The first anniversary of the conquest of Qatar World Cup for the Argentine National Team allowed us to relive each of the seven encounters on the path to third star, but it also opened the range to new appearances. This Monday, with the first day of the year in transit, Social networks were flooded with a hitherto unknown fragment about the final on December 18, 2022 at the Lusail stadium.

The protagonist, on the Albiceleste side, could not be other than Damian Emiliano ‘Drawing’ Martinezwhile on the other was none other than the fearsome scorer Kylian Mbappé. The sequence, revealed by one of the exclusive cameras of the series “Captains of the World” that Netflix released this weekend to remember the first World Cup in Arab lands from different angles, occurred before the penalty that became 3-3. of France against Argentina, in full extra time.

Even though there were no doubts about the sanction that the Polish referee Szymon Marciniak had given for the clear handball of Gonzalo Montiel, Dibu Martínez tried to emotionally destabilize the figure of France while he tried to accommodate the ball on the penalty spot.

The man from Mar del Plata approached and, when the ‘Turtle’ crouched down to support the ball, he moved his body to rest his genital part on Mbappé’s head, who quickly reacted by standing up and saying something to the Argentine goalkeeper..

Immediately, Marciniak stood between the two, sending Dibu Martínez towards his goal, in a prelude to the intense work he would have later during the final round, where he even had to reprimand the Scaloneta goalkeeper for his attitudes that, later, also caused the FIFA will modify the rule regarding the permissions that goalkeepers have in penalties.

The rest of the story is too well known: Mbappé converted that shot to tie the match 3-3 and also the first of the penalty shootout, but the one who ended up celebrating was Dibu Martínez, who along with Lionel Messi and the rest of the 24 footballers gave the third star to the Argentine National Team.
