Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez says he is considering whether it is "time to step aside" from international football after his side's 1-0 defeat to Spain in the World Cup final.
The 33-year-old has won 67 caps for his country and played every minute of Argentina's eight World Cup games, keeping two clean sheets and conceding eight goals.
He was a World Cup winner in 2022, also claiming the golden glove award as the tournament's outstanding goalkeeper.
There are many things to reflect on and how to move forward, and if it's time to step aside.
Martinez won the Yashin Trophy, awarded to the world's best goalkeeper at the Ballon d'Or awards, in 2023 and 2024.
