 on penalties following a 3-3 draw in Sunday's World Cup final.

Reportedly five Million people took to the streets of Buenos Aires on Tuesday to welcome Argentina squad after their

 triumph.

In a clip that went viral on social media, Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez called for a moment of silence for Kylian Mbappe in the dressing room after the final. He also was seen holding a doll bearing Mbappe's face in Tuesday's victory parade.

The president of the French Football Federation has revealed he has contacted his Argentina counterpart to question their treatment of Kylian Mbappe.

French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera also has criticized Argentina players for the manner of their celebrations and has called them inelegant winners.

Speaking to RTL, she said:

"We have to ask the Argentine Football Association [AFA] for an explanation and moreover Noel Le Graet has done, he asked his counterpart Claudio Tapia.

"I find it pitiful. As much as our French team knew how to lose with panache, so much of how this Argentinian team acted following this victory is not worthy of the match we saw.

"There was still inappropriate mockery there against Tchouameni [by Martinez], it's just vulgar and inappropriate.

"They are inelegant winners. There is inappropriate mockery, and unacceptable racist acts [on social media].

"I am glad that Le Graet has filed a complaint and is taking this step with his counterpart. Emiliano Martinez does not distinguish himself, it's quite pathetic.

"I was able to speak with Kylian Mbappe on the plane back and he has a step back from that. The best answer to bring is to return to the field and make the football speak."
