Watch the analysis of Unai Simon's brilliant role against Argentina. Most people don't know the importance of this role. At the start of the game, Argentina was gifted a counter attack when all the Spanish players were in the opposition half. Alvarez plays a genius through pass to the best player of all time, Messi. Everyone knows how lethal Messi's form is in this world cup. Now it Messi vs Unai Simon. Realizing the situation, Unai Simon sprints of line and clears the ball before Messi even can take a touch. That kind of micro-action doesn’t look spectacular, but it’s exactly how a keeper can “deny” a clear chance before it even becomes a shot. Unai Simon perfectly his role as a swiper keeper through out the whole tournament. For this reason, no one deserves the Golden Glove reward better than him. #simon #unaisimon #messi #spain #argentina

cuh he won the golden glove bc spain conceded 1 goal the entire wc 😭😭
He cleared two balls in Semi-final which might have been a goal. Awesome keeper!!
Martinez's with 11 saves🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
That’s the save that defined the winner
His sweeping ability is one of the main reasons why it looked to a lot of people like he never had to do anything.
Wrong explanation 😢
This move during the game happened so fast. Even Messi was surprised. Excellent goalkeeper.
Thank Simon for brilliantly doing a Manuel Neuer move to stop Messi there.
perfect goal keeper for spanish game style
He avoided the Casillas Vs Robben situation in 2010 world cup
If saving a goal was the criteria, then Emi Martinez was the best candidate to get golden glove award.
We all know that the golden glove was supposed to be given to Vozinha.
*Creía que nadie iba a mencionar ésta buena intervención de Unai Simón...*
Something’s off, Messi would never let the ball go this easily
Messi slowed down 😂😂😂
Yes, messi wanted spain to win😂😂😂😂😂
If that was 19 year old Messi it's over 😂
Do you think Messi could not touch or control the ball and left the Goal in a Final Match!!!!
Messi was running slowly Messi in a 1v1 situation
Messi was slower than the most young bloods.😊😊😊
