In addition, with several heroes, such as Messi, Di Maria and Dibu Martinez.

Precisely the latter, Dibu Martinez, has become accustomed to being the hero of Argentina, especially when it comes to penalties.

Despite the happiness and euphoria, Dibu Martinez made a controversial gesture when he received his individual award. In front of the FIFA executives and high-ranking people from Qatar, the Argentine goalkeeper placed the award in his pelvis, playing with the double meaning and giving a clear message.

The reality is that Emiliano Martinez's gesture can break up to three articles of the regulation: Article 205º : ‘Suspension from two to 20 games, to the player who incurs in acts of indiscipline against the public such as making rude gestures or gestures or incorrect expressions to the stands’. Article 52 Serious offenses: ‘using insulting language or gesturing in an offensive, rude or obscene manner - subject to a file being opened with sanctions to be defined.’

What other rule did Dibu break?

Article 16: ‘Unsportsmanlike conduct against players and rival officials or other people who are not match officials, pronouncing terms or expressions that violate decorum or dignity or using gestures or gestures contrary to good sports order. Suspension for a specific number of matches or for a specific period of time, which may not exceed 24 matches or 24 months.’
