The performance of Emiliano Martínez in the 2022 World Cup earned him recognition worldwide. However, the Argentine goalkeeper also had a brilliant performance in the Premier League with Aston Villa. That is why FIFA awarded him The Best Award, in the category of best goalkeeper.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper secured his position as a starter in the Argentine national team on June 4, 2021, in the 1-1 draw against Chile. The rest is history. 'Dibu' remained firm in the 'albiceleste' goal and won the hearts of the people with his unique personality.
In 25 matches with his national team, he has kept 16 clean sheets. Although he cannot boast the same numbers and statistics at Aston Villa, we can see week after week how he demonstrates hierarchy and security.
The other two nominees were Thibaut Courtois and Yassine Bounou, who also had a magnificent year.
