Emiliano Martinez Makes Lewd Gesture After Winning Golden Glove; Shocks Qatari Officials
Emiliano Martinez emerged as one of the most crucial and key players that led to Argentina’s dream-like victory in their much-awaited FIFA World Cup win in the grand finale against the former champions, France.
The 6 feet 4 inches tall imposing Emi Martinez had already proved himself in Argentina’s match against the Netherlands by saving multiple penalties. History repeated itself again when the tournament finals went into a decisive penalty shootout after the end of an extra 30 minutes.
Emi Martinez’s lewd celebration
However, his particular gestures after winning the Golden Glove, which set him as the best goalkeeper in this tournament, have been causing waves of controversy and shock in the conservative Muslim country of Qatar.
His celebrations for his individual Golden Globe before hoisting the Cup on the stage have raised many eyebrows and gained frowns from others. The Argentine goalkeeper held his Golden glove trophy to his groin when he was presented with the trophy.
There was a lot of stirring from the nearby Qatari officials who had witnessed the lewd act of holding the giant golden hand to his groin and thrusting it forward before waving it above his head right before their own eyes.
Whatever the case, the truth remains that Emi Martinez was the hero of the penalty shootout after standing like an iron wall between the French front and Messi’s dream of hoisting the World Cup. And he ended up winning the rightfully deserving Golden Glove, which is awarded to the tournament’s best goalkeeper.
