The pain still hasn’t left his face. 😢 Emiliano Martínez, goalkeeper for the Argentina national team, spoke after the defeat against Spain in the 2026 World Cup final and could not hide how he felt.

“The truth is, the pain is difficult to explain”, Dibu confessed on his social media. “There is a lot to reflect on and to see how to move forward from now on, and whether it’s time to step aside”, he added, leaving the door open to his departure from La Albiceleste.

He also acknowledged that he dreamed of lifting the trophy again: “I dreamed that we would win it again, I dreamed of bringing it to Argentina and making history once more. I’m very sorry, I truly tried my hardest to help my country and my teammates”. A captain who broke down inside without ever stopping facing the public. 🇦🇷
