Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez said he would hang up his gloves if Albiceleste won the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Aston Villa's Martinez will return to international duty after serving a two-match ban from FIFA for "offensive behavior and violation of the principles of fair play".
The incident was caught by the cameras broadcasting the match in Barranquilla and quickly uploaded to social media, where Colombian fans interpreted it as a sign of being a sore loser.
“One more step... We suffered a lot against a tough opponent. We passed to the semis thanks to the work of everyone and on top of that we have the best goalkeeper in the world @emi_martinez26. Go Argentina!” Messi wrote on Instagram.
Clubs are not obliged to release players for the Olympic football tournament held in France between July 24-August 9 with the new Premier League campaign beginning on August 17.
The Villa stopper received a hostile reception throughout from Lille fans who had not forgotten his provocative celebrations after Argentina beat France on penalties in the 2022 World Cup final.
Martinez was warned for his persistent mind games in the Stade Pierre Mauroy.
Angel di Maria, the World Cup winning Argentina forward, will come to Dhaka in late May or early June, confirmed Kolkata-based sports promoter Satadru Dutta.
The bond the players shared with the fans was also appreciated on the touchline. Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni always made mention of the supporters' contributions throughout his Qatar 2022 journey.

Jamal Bhuiyan said that it would have been best for Emiliano Martinez to have made a public appearance during his short visit to Bangladesh when the Bangladesh football team captain talked over the phone with Satadru Dutta, the chief of the company that brought the Argentine to the subcontinent for the first time.
