"Emiliano Martinez was more important than Lionel Messi for success at the World Cup"

Former Argentine goalkeeper Hugo Gatti believes that for the Argenhttps://meridianbet.com/en/betting/footballtine national team, Emiliano Martinez was more important than Lionel Messi in winning the World Cup.

At the World Cup in Qatar, Argentina won its third world title in total and for the first time in 36 years. The main player of the national team was Lionel Messi, who scored seven goals and registered three assists and was later officially declared the best player of the tournament.

However, Gatti believes that the key player on the Argentina team was goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

“Martinez was more important than Messi.” He was a key player on the Argentina team. “He was at his best when it was most needed; remember the defense in the last minute,” Gatti told Spanish media.

The former goalkeeper of “Gauchos” also put Angel Di Maria ahead of Messi.

“Di Maria had a great World Cup, and no one mentions that.” “He was the most important player in Argentina’s attack,” believes Gatti.

However, when it comes to Gatti, he lacks objectivity because he is a known fan of Real Madrid.

“His World Cup was relatively good, but he will never be better than Maradona.” “First, no one managed to surpass Pele, and then here in Argentina, no one surpassed Diego,” said Hugo, adding:

“For me, Mbappe is the best footballer in the world.”
