During his two-day tour to Kolkata, Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez charmed football fans. Martinez was delighted to acknowledge the chants of his famous Argentina teammate Lionel Messi that came his way during his tour, even promising to return to the city with the iconic Albiceleste captain and the rest of the squad to play there.
Martinez was presented with a golden glove similar to the one he received during Argentina’s victorious 2022 World Cup campaign during one of the numerous successful events he attended. At the time, his action with the trophy after receiving it on the platform in Qatar drew both criticism and applause. Martinez ended up replicating similar gesture during the event in Kolkata to cheers from the crowd.
