France super star Kylian Mbappe has finally reacted to the mockery served him by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez during the La Albiceleste World Cup celebrations when he insisted that though he will never get over his World Cup heartbreak but will not waste time embarking on a war of words with the controversial goalie National Daily can confirm.

The France forward obviously cemented his status as the heir apparent to Lionel Messi in Qatar where he produced a series of outstanding performances which was without doubt culminated in an historic display in the final.

The 24-year-old became the first man since Sir Geoff Hurst in 1966 to score a hat-trick in the final and also kept his nerve in a penalty shootout which unfortunately ended in defeat after Martinez’s excellence, and highly contentious gamesmanship, proved decisive.

The Golden Boot proved little consolation for the PSG forward who subsequently became an unlikely target for Argentina’s players, and Martinez in particular, during Argentina’s riotous post match celebrations.

Ridiculously, Martinez was filmed asking for a minutes’ silence for Mbappe in the dressing room after the game, and courted more controversy during an open-top bus parade back in Buenos Aries by holding a doll covered by a picture of the PSG star’s face.

While Messi is still enjoying an extended break, Mbappe returned to action last night for the Ligue 1 champions and made a triumphant return in his club teammate’s absence, scoring a last minute winner from the spot in a 2-1 win over Strasbourg.

Asked after the game for a response to the Aston Villa No.1’s trolling, Mbappe said: ‘They are not my problem. I don’t have energy to waste on such futile things.

’ll never digest it. But like I told my coach and teammates, there’s no reason that my club should pay for a defeat with my national team, it’s two different situations.

‘The message was simple – it was to show that, whatever goes on with the national team, PSG is a separate thing and I’m still determined to bring every trophy to the capital.’

Meanwhile, Martinez who is still at Argentina is likely to make his return for Aston Villa against Tottenham on New Year’s Day in a game that will pit him against France’s Hugo Lloris.

And Martinez new Villa boss Unai Emery has hinted on speaking with the Argentine about controlling his emotions.

He said: ‘We are so proud of him. He won the World Cup, it’s amazing! Aston Villa fans can be very proud.

‘He’s coming back next week so we are expecting him to be ready for the game at Tottenham on New Year’s Day.
