A tribute is coming to Draw Martínez against Guardiola

Vinicius, Alejando Garnacho and Dibu Martínez. South America dominated again at the FIFA The Best Awards gala. The goalkeeper of the Argentine National Team and Aston Villa is established for the second consecutive year as the best goalkeeper in the world for the greatest event in world football. After a day full of unique moments and which already launches the awards for the following season, a great tribute is coming from the Premier League for the goalkeeper born in football. Independent of Avellaneda. It will even be against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Martínez beat a series of rivals who, despite in some cases having better numbers than the Argentine National Team goalkeeperthey did not hold their records in terms of saves per game or a title of the stature of the America’s Cup to fight for the prize. El Draw won and as happened a few months ago, a tremendous tribute is expected from Villa Park for Unai Emery’s goalkeeper. Be careful that all this will be in the midst of the crisis of results that Manchester City is experiencing from Guardiola.

To understand what lies ahead we have to go back to October 12, 2023. After staying with The Best, Dibu and Aston Villa played against Fulham in a Villa Park who broke his hands applauding his footballer and who also dedicated both songs and various flags to him throughout the entire venue. This weekend it will be Manchester City who visits the city of Birmingham in the midst of what it will mean a new party for the team that, 40 years later, let’s not forget, the European Cup has returned. On November 27 against Juventus, same sequence of images against Juventus after obtaining Lev Yashin.

We are talking about a match with the character of a true final for both teams. Aston Villa and Manchester City will open matchday number 17 of a Premier League where Pep Guardiola’s team is fifth right now with 27 units. One point less than that Nottingham Forest right now marks the limit when it comes to qualifying for the Champions League. But be careful, because they could be surpassed by Dibu Martínez thanks to the 25 points collected by Unai Emery’s team to date. Decisive clash and where to get into the main tournament of clubs from the old continent are at stake. There will be a party before the opening whistle.

Emiliano Martínez continues to justify a career that at 32 years old has only been on the rise. His departure from Arsenal in the English capital for Aston Villa in 2020 marked a 180º turn in a career that since then has not stopped touching both trophies and successes. The four conquests with the Argentine National Team, including of course the world final exactly two years agothanks to a total of 182 Aston Villa games where the Argentine has barely conceded 224 goals. We are not talking at all about one of the members of the Big Six of the contest or a historical record that Rosa sees that are accumulating around these dates.

Until when does Dibu Martínez have a contract?

Loved by many and hated by others, the Argentine leaves no one indifferent.. His contractual relationship with the city of Birmingham ends right now on June 30, 2029 thanks to the latest renewal made with the sports management led by Unai Emery and Monchi. Getting the villains back into the Champions League on a regular basis is the great object.

Dibu, the goalkeeper who changed the history of Argentina

We say that two years have passed since the three-goal draw between Argentina and France in the capital of Qatar. A date on which it is impossible not to remember Martínez’s save from Randal Kolo Muani in the 120th minute of the match. Thanks to said stop with his left foot and the penalty saved in the shootout that gave the third star Lionel Messi and company, a good part of the successes collected by Lionel Scaloni’s men have come almost uninterruptedly. Dibu continues to mark a path that leaves no one indifferent.
