Emiliano Martínez Fires Back: ‘We Didn’t Get an Easy Path to the Final’
Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez has rejected claims that the champions enjoyed a soft draw on their way to the World Cup final. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s showpiece in New York, Martínez explained that Argentina had no control over their opponents and pointed out how they avoided a quarter-final clash with Portugal only because other teams upset the seedings. He reminded critics that every knockout match demanded full focus, from extra-time wins over Cabo Verde and Egypt to a 3-1 victory against Switzerland. Argentina then overturned England 2-1 in the semi-final to set up a meeting with Spain, where they will bid to become only the third nation to defend a World Cup title.
