As Gonzalo Montiel scored the winning penalty that made Argentina World Cup champions over France, Emiliano Martínez fell to his knees.
Part of it was exhaustion. Part of it was disbelief. All of it was existential joy.
Martínez's emotions swam in a sea of self-reflection. He couldn't quite believe it. Their goalkeeper, who had made critical saves in the final -- and throughout the tournament in Qatar -- had done it. He was finally a World Cup winner. The Argentinian crowd roared inside Lusail Stadium and across the globe, some possibly chanting his loving nickname based on a cartoon back when he was a youth player.
