The message of a minute of silence for Mbappe is a result of their pre-match statements.
Mbappe said before the game that football in Europe is more advanced than their south American counterparts.
He said, "The advantage we have in Europe is that we play among ourselves with high-level matches all the time, such as the Nations League.

“When we arrive at the World Cup, we are ready, whereas Brazil and Argentina do not have this level in South America.
"Football is not as advanced as in Europe. That’s why at the last World Cups, it's always the Europeans who win.”
Martinez responded with a message that Mbappe, "doesn't know enough about football."
Mbappe scored three goals and his kick in the penalty shoot-out but it was Martinez who had the last laugh as champion with Argentina.
