The read
He fractured a finger in May's Europa League final warm-up and missed Argentina's pre-tournament friendlies, but started the opener and kept in the 3-0 win over Algeria (who failed a single shot on target). He's favored to repeat as the tournament's best goalkeeper.
The fan’s readHe's the best tournament goalkeeper of his generation and a genuine mentality monster: he kept his 42nd international vs Algeria despite fracturing a finger in the Europa League final warm-up and missing the friendlies. If this goes to penalties — and with Argentina it often does — he is the single biggest edge any team has.
