While waiting to know the identity of the 2023 Ballon d’Or, the goalkeeper of the Argentina team and Aston Villa, Emi Martinez, won the Yachine Trophy, rewarding the best goalkeeper.

The Argentinian goalkeeper’s legendary save against Kolo Muani in the 2022 World Cup final was also shown on the giant screen. Whistles were then heard in the room, the audience, loyal to the Blues, not having liked these images. It was Didier Drogba who had to intervene and ask the public to respect the Argentine goalkeeper.

Martinez, for his part, spoke after his coronation. “ When you see it in slow motion… We had a great match. Kylian scored again and it ended on penalties. This trophy is a real source of pride. »

The final of the last World Cup between France and Argentina is still visibly in everyone’s memory…
