Emiliano 'Dibu' Martinez got a brand new tattoo to commemorate his World Cup triumph

Emiliano 'Dibu' Martinez has been one of the key players of the Argentinian National Football Team for them to win the World Cup. Both on the field and with his controversial celebrations, one way or the other, the goalkeeper has made everyone talk about him. Like some of his teammates, the Aston Villa player decided to commemorate the championship on his skin with a tattoo.

Through his social media channels, Dibu posted his new tattoo about the day that will be with him until he dies. The World Cup can be seen in large and underneath a message: "May passion lead you to glory". The goalkeeper got it in Argentina, where he spent Christmas and is still celebrating the title he won in Qatar a week ago.

The location of the tattoo is no coincidence. He got the tattoo on his left leg, the one that prevented France's fourth goal in the last minute of extra time. When it seemed that the Europeans had everything to complete the comeback, Kolo Muani shot and Dibu stretched his leg as far as he could.

As soon as the match was over, Martinez referred to that moment. "Thank God for that save": it allowed Argentina to stay alive and reach the penalty shootout, where the rest is history. Since being crowned world champion, he has been in controversy for his celebrations and the messages to Mbappé who scored three goals against him and the Argentinian National Team.
