Martinez made an important save in the final, from a Randal Kolo Muani shot with 20 seconds left to go in extra time. The save took the match to a shootout, which Argentina went on to win.

The former Arsenal goalkeeper linked up with Argentine tattoo artist Juan Skunca to have a picture of the World Cup trophy drawn on the exact spot, as reported by Sports Brief.

He is yet to return to England for Aston Villa, where coach Unai Emery is reportedly not a fan of his, and will reportedly want a move as early as January.
