Argentina's World Cup-winning goalkeeper, Emi Martínez, is contemplating his international future following the heartbreak of losing the final in New Jersey. The 33-year-old Aston Villa player, who was part of the victorious Qatar squad, expressed his deep disappointment on Instagram. "I dreamed of winning it again... the pain is hard to put into words. Now I have to reflect on many things, see how to move forward, and decide if it's time to step aside," he wrote.

Martínez played every minute of Argentina's eight World Cup matches, recording two clean sheets and conceding eight goals. His potential departure comes as a significant blow to the national team, especially after the recent disappointment of losing the trophy to Spain. The goalkeeper's reflections suggest a period of introspection before making a final decision on his continued involvement with Argentina.
