If the Euro attracts all our attention, we must also not forget that the Copa América is taking place right now in the United States. And there too, the show is in full swing. But not with own goals, nor goals refused for offside (hello Romelu). No, the show is once again provided by THE showman of the American continent: Emiliano Martinez.
Chambering Martinez, episode 378292
There was the episode of the 2022 World Cup final, which remained forever engraved in the minds of all French people. Then that of April 18, where Dibu Martinez did it again against LOSC by eliminating Lille with Aston Villa in the Europa Conference League. If you thought that the native of Mar del Plata was going to get watery with age, you’ve missed it.
Argentina faces Chile at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, near New York. The match is undecided, the two teams are back to back, then in the 88th minute, Lautaro Martinez delivers his country by scoring the winning goal. 1-0 Argentina. It was enough for his namesake Emiliano to join the party, in his own way. The Aston Villa goalkeeper rushes with his arms in the air into his penalty area, goes behind his cage and climbs onto the advertising board. So far, nothing unusual, except that he is celebrating the victory… in front of the Chilean stand. From Emiliano Martinez in the text.
We almost forget that Argentina qualified for the quarter-finals with this victory. But it becomes totally anecdotal when you have Dibu Martinez on your team.
