Emiliano Martinez, Argentina's goalkeeper, made a big sacrifice to win the World Cup.

He had a broken finger before the tournament started. The doctors told him he needed surgery. But if he did surgery, he would miss the World Cup.

He said no to surgery.

During the whole World Cup, he played with a lot of pain. The pain was very bad. Sometimes he cried after training. He said he could not feel four fingers inside his glove. It was hard for him to catch the ball. It was hard for him to train every day.

But he did not stop. He did not complain.

He kept going for one reason. He wanted to help Argentina. He wanted to help his teammates. And most of all, he wanted to see Lionel Messi lift the World Cup trophy.

In the final, he made important saves. He saved Argentina in the last minute against France. He was strong when the team needed him.

At the end, Messi lifted the World Cup. The dream came true.
