Maluma accuses Emiliano Martinez of making sexist gestures
Posted Saturday, July 10, 2021 by Marca.com
Colombia singer Maluma has taken to social media to hit out at Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for gestures made during the penalty shootout against Colombia in the Copa America semi-final.
Maluma claimed that some of Martinez's celebratory gestures were sexist and believes that the Aston Villa shot-stopper didn't show respect towards his opponents.
"What this boy has done is lack of respect towards football and towards my Colombian people," Maluma wrote on Instagram.
"He fails to comply with fair play and with sports, and did sexist behaviour. I hope he is sanctioned and that this does not happen again."
Martinez provoked Colombia players during the shootout, while some of his words could be heard on camera as the game was held behind closed doors.
"I'm sorry but I will eat you up," Martinez told his rivals. "You don't get to celebrate. No, I see you are nervous.
"Yes, do the fooling around. I already know you, you like it. You laugh because you are nervous. Look how you I will eat you up brother."
