World Cup 2022: Morgan Blasts Messi for Allowing Martinez Mock Mbappe

• Piers Morgan has called out Lionel Messi for allowing Emi Martinez to mock Kylian Mbappe
• The Argentine goalkeeper was seen at the World Cup parade with a teddy mocking Mbappe
• Morgan feels Messi should have stopped the shot-stopper from mocking his PSG teammate

Controversial British broadcaster Piers Morgan has slammed Lionel Messi, for watching on and allowing goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez to mock Kylian Mbappe during their celebratory parade.

Martinez conceded three goals from Mbappe during the 120 minutes of the 2022 World Cup final between Argentina and France, and he also failed to save the Frenchman's kick during the shootout.

But the Aston Villa was the hero of the day as he saved two other penalties, which helped La Albiceleste beat Les Bleus 4-2 on penalties.

Mbappe was sad that he was unable to help his nation retain the World Cup, and was even spotted being consoled on the pitch by French President, Emmanuel Macron.
