One of the great architects of Argentina’s victory at the World Cup. Since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Emiliano Martinez has established himself as one of the most successful goalkeepers in the world. The Argentinian has moved into another dimension since his world champion title with the Albiceleste.

The current Aston Villa goalkeeper has not conceded a single goal in 622 minutes with the Argentine selection. A first in the history of Albiceleste. The last goal conceded by Emiliano Martinez was in the World Cup final on December 18, 2022 against the France team.
