He won the award for the best goalkeeper, the mistake of Dibu Martinez that goes viral

Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez significantly positioned himself as one of the most outstanding footballers of the moment. The Aston Villa goalkeeper took the Lev Yashin trophy at the 2023 Ballon d'Or gala, however, this happened amid criticism from several people because they considered that the player's level was not the most optimal. After this event, it was surprising what the footballer did in Aston Villa's last game, with a blunder.

It was not Emiliano Dibu Martínez's best game for Aston Villa since the national team goalkeeper made a mistake after a shot that meant the second goal in Nottingham Forest's 2-0 victory on the eleventh round of the Premier League. The man from Mar del Plata could not contain the shot from Belgian Orel Mangala. To make matters worse, a few minutes into the game he was unable to do much to prevent the scoring after an impeccable shot.

In an important match for Emery's team, due to the possibility of overtaking Arsenal, the Argentine goalkeeper scored 2-0 in this way. At the dawn of the match, the Nigerian Ola Aina kicked from outside the area and Dibu jumped, but failed to deflect the ball. It was after 5 minutes. With the score unfavorable, Aston Villa had a hard time and the local team controlled the actions.

This was the story of Dibu Martinez

Dibu's life story was decisive in forming his personality. He was born in the city of Mar de Plata and as a child he emigrated to Buenos Aires to defend the goal of the lower divisions of Independiente de Avellaneda. At the age of 16 he suffered the second uprooting, this time with an ocean in between: he left Rojo to join Arsenal in England. Despite the criticism, it is a story of improvement where certainly no one has given the player anything and he achieved the most important title of his career with the Argentine National Team.
