After Aston Villa’s 4-2 win over Liverpool, the Mar del Plata native shared a fun moment with his young son Santino.
Dibu Martínez’s Aston Villa beat Alexis Mac Allister’s Liverpool 4-2 this Friday, on the second-to-last matchday of the Premier League, and secured qualification for next season’s Champions League. To celebrate, after the match, the players brought their families onto the pitch, cheered on by all the fans. And the Argentine goalkeeper, in particular, started saving penalties from his son.
The camera showed seven-year-old Santino coming onto the field with a ball, while Dibu was carrying his other daughter, four-year-old Ava, alongside his wife Mandinha Martínez. And at one point, the goalkeeper went over to one of the goals, his son placed the ball on the penalty spot, and started taking shots at him.
Left-footed, the little boy sent the first one low across goal, but Dibu saved it. With the support of all the fans, Santino took another shot, but this time he sent it high to the left; the Mar del Plata native stood still and the ball flew straight into the net, sparking celebrations from the crowd.
A joyful atmosphere just days before the Europa League final, where Aston Villa will face Freiburg in Istanbul on Wednesday, May 20 at 4:00 p.m. (Argentina time).
