The years go by and Emiliano Martinez does not mature. Aged 32, the Argentina and Aston Villa goalkeeper still loves to make people talk. The one who shocked the planet in December 2022, by sticking his trophy for best goalkeeper of the Qatari World Cup against his penis, created controversy again last night in Buenos Aires.
On the sidelines of the match between the Albiceleste and Chile, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Argentines presented the crowd at the Estadio Monumental with the Copa America trophy, which they won this summer. And “Dibu”, once he had the cup in his hands, couldn’t help but reproduce the obscene gesture that made him famous.
Emiliano Martinez still decisive
His celebration quickly went viral on social media, where reactions were mixed. While some Argentine fans found it funny, others were outraged by the Villans goalkeeper’s attitude. “Is there a video where Emiliano Martinez doesn’t act like an idiot?”we can read in particular on X (ex-Twitter).
Nominated among the 30 candidates for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, but also for the Yachine Trophy of which he is the defending champion, the 2022 world champion was once again successful against the Chileans. Author of a clean sheet (3-0), he allowed the Albiceleste to sign a twelfth consecutive victory, the third in a row without conceding a goal.
