Emiliano Martinez has ruthlessly taken aim at ANOTHER France player following his brutal taunts of Kylian Mbappe.
Martinez has mocked Mbappe in wake of Argentina's World Cup triumph over France in Qatar last weekend.
In the dressing room after beating France, he staged a 'moment's of silence' for the Paris Saint-Germain superstar.

And he was spotted carrying a doll with the forward's face taped on it during Argentina's open-top bus parade through Buenos Aires.
The 30-year-old appears to have ended his trolling of Mbappe by moving onto the France star's international teammate, Aurelien Tchouameni.
Speaking at an event in Mar de la Plata, the goalkeeper was asked about the Real Madrid midfielder's missed penalty during the shootout and if he was playing mind games.

He claims he knew the 22-year-old was going to be 'very nervous' after he saved Kingsley Coman's spot-kick, saying he 'f**ked it all'.
After throwing the ball away and talking to him, Tchouameni dragged his penalty wide.
Martinez said: "I know that penalty shootouts are one of my strengths, opponents respect me for that and they have told me so.
"When I save the first penalty in the World Cup final (from Kingsley Coman), I know that the other boy was going to be very nervous. I tried to play him mentally by throwing the ball away, talking to him... And he missed the goal, he f**ked it all."
At least Tchouameni hasn't been given the Mbappe treatment, with Martinez openly admitting to playing mind games ahead of his spot-kick.

Martinez's taunting of Mbappe has led the president of the French FA, Noel Le Graet, to write a formal letter of complaint.
The Aston Villa star has also been called 'the biggest son of a b***h' and 'the most hated man' by former France defender Adil Rami.
