Argentine soccer goalkeeper
Born: September 2, 1992

Emiliano Martínez, born on September 2, 1992, in Mar del Plata, Argentina, is a professional footballer known for his exceptional goalkeeping skills. Martínez began his career at Independiente’s youth academy before moving to Arsenal in 2010. However, his early years at Arsenal were marked by multiple loan spells, including stints at Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United, and Reading, among others. These experiences helped him develop his abilities and gain valuable playing time.

Martínez’s breakthrough came in the 2019-2020 season when he stepped up as Arsenal’s first-choice goalkeeper following an injury to Bernd Leno. His performances were crucial in Arsenal’s FA Cup and Community Shield victories, earning him widespread recognition. In September 2020, Martínez transferred to Aston Villa, where he quickly established himself as one of the Premier League’s top goalkeepers.

Internationally, Martínez became Argentina’s starting goalkeeper in 2021 and played a key role in their Copa América victory that same year. His heroic saves in the penalty shootout against Colombia in the semifinals and his outstanding performance in the final against Brazil solidified his status as a national hero. Known for his commanding presence and shot-stopping abilities, Martínez continues to be a key figure for both club and country.

• When you work hard, you are not going to be happy the whole time, you are going to have frustration, bad times in life.
• I said to my mum when I turned 18 and moved into my first flat in Enfield, ‘I don’t want to come back to my country with nothing. I want to make a career here.’ I did not want to let them down.
• A second-choice goalkeeper can sometimes say: ‘Oh, it’s a lack of games, it’s different when you train compared to when you play.’ But there is no excuse if you do everything right.
• The last loan spell, at Reading, was the one I enjoyed most. The manager, Jose Gomes, put a lot of faith in me and helped me develop.
