Kolkata:- Argentina’s world-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez got involved in the controversy after slapping. Argentina’s World Cup Qualifying Round game (Fifa World Cup Qualifier 2026) was against Colombia last Tuesday night. Argentina lost that match.
A cameraman accused Martinez of slapping him after the match.
According to sources, FIFA may file a complaint against the Argentine goalkeeper. Cameraman Jonny Jackson complained, “I went up to Martinez after the match. Then he was thanking another footballer. Suddenly he slapped me. I was shocked by his behavior. There was great anger at that moment. I was doing my job. This incident happened in the middle of it.” The incident can also be seen in Jackson’s footage.
Martinez and controversy, however, are synonymous. Martinez became known in world football from the 2022 World Cup. Controversy arose over his celebration after Seva’s World Cup win. Later, Kylian also made controversial comments about Mbappe. Argentina’s world-winning goalkeeper makes occasional comments.
But this time Martinez is well into the debate. In the end, if that cameraperson goes to FIFA, then he can get a good punishment. Martinez remains focused for now, though.
