The governor of the Entre Ríos Province in Argentina has hailed Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez following Sunday's World Cup final win over France in Qatar.
Following a breath-taking 3-3 draw at the Lusail Stadium, which saw Argentina pegged back on two occasions, the South American giants won the showpiece event 4-2 on penalties, ensuring they lifted the World Cup for the first time since 1986.
Argentina, inspired by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, converted each of their four penalties, meaning Messi's dream of winning football's greatest prize came true. United defender Martinez, however, played no part in the final, with Tottenham Hotspur star Cristian Romero and former Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi preferred at centre-back.
