Emiliano Martinez, the iconic goalkeeper for Argentina in recent years, might be considering retirement from the national team. He hinted at this possibility in his latest Instagram post following their World Cup final defeat. "I dreamed of winning it again, I dreamed of bringing it to Argentina and making history once more," wrote the Albiceleste's shot-stopper. However, the concern in Argentina stemmed from the subsequent lines of his message: "The truth is, the pain is hard to explain. There's a lot to consider, to see how to move forward, and if it's time to step aside."
"I'm truly sorry, I tried to give my all to help my country and my teammates," the goalkeeper concluded.
"Dibu," as Martinez is also known, was the hero for the Argentinians in the final, saving 11 out of 12 shots on target from the Europeans. He was finally beaten in the 106th minute by Ferran Torres' strike.
The 33-year-old goalkeeper has made 67 appearances for Argentina since his debut in June 2021. He currently plays for Aston Villa, but there's a possibility he could move to Juventus.
