Emiliano Martinez is ready to fight for glory alongside “the greatest player of all time” Lionel Messi as Argentina take on France in the World Cup final.
Argentina are bidding to emulate the heroes of 1978 and 1986 in Sunday’s final at Lusail Stadium, where the reigning champions stand between Lionel Scaloni’s side and footballing immortality.
France are looking to become just the third team in history to win successive World Cups and go into the final as slight favourites, but with last year’s Copa America triumph and Messi’s inspirational quality to call upon, Argentina goalkeeper Martinez is unfazed by such labels.
