I've got the power! Argentina has the "Messi" of goalkeepers

(By Diego Canepa, from Miami alongside Ortega and Taylor) In a feat that only the chosen ones achieve, Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez stands as the supreme guardian of the Albiceleste, conquering his fourth title with Argentina and redefining the goalkeeping standards with unparalleled skill. With unwavering dominance, Martínez has been consecrated as the "Messi" of goalkeepers, marking a milestone in Argentine football history.

In the CONMEBOL Copa América 2024™, Martínez shone brightly as he was awarded the Best Goalkeeper of the tournament, keeping his goal unbeaten most of the time and only conceding once under pressure, in the draw against Ecuador. His impeccable performance resulted in just one goal conceded throughout the competition, once again demonstrating his mastery between the posts.

Since his debut in the national team in 2021, Emiliano Martínez has forged a glorious path, excelling in crucial moments that have led Argentina to the top. His decisive involvement in the CONMEBOL Copa América 2021™ and in the 2022 Finalissima against Italy, where he was crowned champion, marked the beginning of a legend that was solidified in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, with memorable saves that paved the way to glory.

Dibu Martínez's astonishing numbers speak for themselves: 45 matches played, 32 clean sheets, just 17 goals conceded, and 75 saves that have been crucial in achieving 34 victories. His impact on the team has been monumental, transforming Argentina's defensive strategy and raising the standard of play from the backline forward.

His contribution was vital in Argentina's triumph as world champions and in his own recognition as the tournament's best goalkeeper.

Colombia came out strong, playing the final of their lives, but we know that whoever plays against us, this team will win," declared Martínez with his characteristic confidence. "We never give up, it's very difficult to score against us. The defense is solid, the midfield runs a lot, the forwards run a lot, and we are proud," recounted the goalkeeper who was happy to contribute to Di María retiring with another title.
