Goalkeeper from controversial Argentina returns to club after World Cup heroics

More than ten days after Argentina's World Cup victory, Emiliano Martinez is back with Aston Villa. The goaltender, like his teammate Lionel Messi, took extra time off from club work to participate in La Albiceleste's historic victory.

Since his heroics and subsequent World Cup victory, Martinez has drawn criticism for a number of inappropriate celebration-related antics.

In particular, he made repeated jabs at World Cup finalist Kylian Mbappe, which rankled a lot of the audience.
