“He’s the best I’ve faced”
The Argentinian has also revealed the identity of the opponent who has impressed him the most during his career. ” Neymar is the best player I’ve played against. During the Copa America final we tried to stop him but we couldn’t. I thought “my god, this is the best I’ve faced” ” told Emiliano Martinez at the microphone of TNT Sports.
Emiliano Martinez snubbed Mbappé
The 2022 world champion has therefore designated the star of the PSG rather than a certain Kylian Mbappé. The French international nevertheless signed a hat-trick in the final of world Cup against him and even converted his penalty during the penalty shootout. But despite this dazzling performance by the 24-year-old striker, Emiliano Martinez was obviously more amazed by Neymar and its technical quality.
