Aston Villa news: Martinez to bid for successive World Cup titles against Spain

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will help Argentina's bid for back-to-back World Cups against Spain - live on the BBC from 19:00 BST - while also bidding for his second title.

Martinez was Villa's first player to reach a World Cup final and played a crucial role in Argentina's victory in 2022, saving one spot-kick in the shootout against France.

He then picked up the Golden Glove award before his side collected the trophy.

Since then, he has won the 2024 Copa America and had club success with Villa in the Europa League.

The 33-year-old has started all seven games at this tournament so far, keeping two clean sheets in Argentina's journey to the final.

Can Villa's number one make it back-to-back World title wins? Only European champions Spain stand in their way.
