Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez won the Golden Glove award following the culmination of the World Cup final last night, and performed an explicit pose with the trophy on the podium.
The Golden Glove is a trophy awarded to the best goalkeeper of the tournament, and during the presentation ceremony, he immortalised his crowning with an unorthodox pose.
He was seen holding the golden glove trophy in front of his crotch and thrusting into it, as a bewildered Qatari official looked on from behind him.
Netizens’ comments
- Emi Martìnez wins the golden glove. And then does this with it.
- Emi Martinez on his celebration: “I did it because the French booed me. Arrogance doesn’t work with me!”
- What did Martinez do to his trophy
- I just caught what Emi (Emiliano) Martinez did during the best goalkeeper trophy presentation & he did something else with a hanging gesture at the end that many of us probably missed. What is this guy thinking?! World Cup Final dude. A little more maturity would help.
Emi Martìnez wins the golden glove.
