Nace un ídolo.

Igor Akinfeev is one of the players who has performed the best in Russia 2018. The goalkeeper of the host country was the main protagonist of the Russian feat to eliminate the Spanish national team from the World Cup.

The goalkeeper of CSKA Moscow was immortalized in a spectacular mural, which was made on the ramp of the Schelkovo skate park, near the City Children's Stadium, located in the Russian capital.

The World Cup has meant a personal revenge for Akinfeev, who felt responsible for the elimination of the Europeans in the group stage of Brazil 2014, where he made a blooper against South Korea.

The 32-year-old goalkeeper debuted at CSKA Moscow at the age of 17 and since then, he has not played for any other team than the capital club, which also influenced this recognition given to him by urban artists.

The Russian national team will face Croatia in the quarterfinals of the World Cup and Akinfeev will hope to round off another important day to continue making history with his national team.
