How he plays
A big, loud goalkeeper who grows when the pressure does. He makes himself huge in one-on-ones and treats a penalty shootout as his own stage.
In Aussie and Kiwi terms
Think of a fullback under the high ball, a key defender who never panics, or a keeper in a shootout.
Three things to know
- He won the Golden Glove at the 2022 World Cup.
- He was named best goalkeeper at two Copa Américas, in 2021 and 2024, and Argentina won both.
- He left home for England at 17 and went out on loan six times before getting his chance.
Watch for this in his game
Penalty shootouts. Watch how big he makes himself before the kick is taken.
