The goalkeeper will reach the historic milestone of six World Cups, something he will achieve at this tournament alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi, having taken part in every edition since 2006.

'Memo' went to the World Cup in Germany as the third-choice goalkeeper and did not play; he went to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as the second-choice goalkeeper and also did not play, as he was behind Óscar 'Conejo' Pérez, and then he became a key figure in 2014, 2018, and 2022.

Will he be one this World Cup too, hosted - among others - by his own country?
