The star footballer and his wife were booed by the crowd.

The goalkeeper of “Aston Villa” and the Argentina national team, Emiliano Martinez, along with his wife Mandinha, was booed on the red carpet before the “Ballon d'Or 2024” ceremony.

The 32-year-old keeper faced a hostile reception in Paris. Martinez gave a brief clap, but whether it was a genuine or sarcastic response to someone off-camera remains unclear.

Emiliano is not well-liked in France due to his exuberant celebration following the World Cup victory and his insulting chants directed at Mbappe and the French national team.
