Martinez recognised as world's best goalkeeper
- Published
Argentina World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez won the Yashin Trophy for the best goalkeeper in the world.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper was presented with the award at Monday's Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris.
Martinez won the Golden Glove in Qatar, saving a spot-kick from Kingsley Coman in the penalty shootout win against France in the final.
He also helped Villa finish seventh in the Premier League and secure a place in the Europa Conference League.
However, Martinez was jeered by some of the crowd at the Paris ceremony. The goalkeeper was criticised for this celebration after winning the World Cup against France last year.
