Emiliano Martinez was named the best goalkeeper of the year at the Ballon d’Or ceremony, winning the Lev Yashin award.
Aston Villa’s ‘keeper made an essential contribution to Argentina winning the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
His honor was also accompanied by some uproar, as a result of the mockery of Kylian Mbappe during the World Cup celebrations.
Martinez has once again returned to the Argentina-France final, as he does not spare praise for the French striker.
“Did Kylian make me suffer? Yes, there is a reason why he is considered one of the best players in the world. I have a lot of respect for him as a player and as a person. Of course there are images that have been taken and created something that has nothing to do with my personality.
Kylian is an example to follow. This guy is amazing and has already won a World Cup with France and scored a hat-trick against me in the final. I think he should be proud, as the French are.
Is he the best striker I’ve ever played against? Yes. “When Messi and Ronaldo retire, I believe he will take their place and win many Golden Balls,” said the 31-year-old.
