Emiliano Martínez is the most consequential goalkeeper in Argentina's recent history, his penalty shootout heroics in both the 2021 Copa América final and the 2022 World Cup final against France making him a national icon. At Aston Villa he has been consistently among the Premier League's best shot-stoppers, combining excellent reflexes with an aggressive, dominant presence that unsettles attackers. His psychological warfare during shootouts — talking to penalty takers, delaying, theatrics — is calculated and effective rather than merely theatrical. After years as Arsenal's backup, he has made the number one shirt his own at both club and country.
