Argentina national team goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was recognized for his incredible performance in the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the main match of the tournament against Spain, he made 11 saves, setting a new absolute record for World Cup finals.

Before this match, Brazilian Claudio Taffarel and Italian Gianluca Pagliuca dominated the show.. At the final of the 1994 emergency, their teams fought all over the place (and after a clean draw, Brazil won the penalty shootout).

Despite Emiliano's self-confidence and phenomenal performance at the last stage, the Spaniards managed to reach their opponent and win with a 1:0 score.. Strike Martinez and bring his team the Zoom trophy with striker Ferran Torres scoring the goal in the 106th league match.

Guess what, Unai Simon became the closest goalkeeper of the 2026 Emergency. It’s important that the Spain national team goalkeeper made fewer saves throughout the entire World Cup than Martinez in the final match.
