Despite the spotlight on Golden Boot, the struggle at the opposite end of the pitch is equally compelling as part of the Golden Glove battle. With Martinez and Livakovic always there for Argentina and Croatia, the four goalkeepers in the final four games appear guaranteed to be on the shortlist for the 2022 prize.

Emiliano Martinez made his international debut for Argentina 🇦🇷 on June 3, 2021 against Chile.

Since then he has won:

🏆 2021 Copa America Champion
🏆 2022 Finalissima Champion
🏆 2022 World Cup Champion

And won the Golden Glove at the Copa America and World Cup. 👏🏾👏🏾 pic.twitter.com/E26C5UWOgF

Martinez ensured the game went to extra time with an elastic one-on-one save against Kolo Muani deep in extra time to hold the score 3-3, with Kylian Mbappe starring with a hat-trick. In the shootout, the Aston Villa goalkeeper saved penalties from Kingsley Coman and Aurelien Tchouameni, putting his team on the verge of winning its third World Cup.

Martinez had earlier been unmovable in Argentina’s quarterfinal penalty shootout win over the Netherlands, denying Virgil van Djik and Steven Berghuis from the spot. With four saves in FIFA World Cup shootouts, no goalkeeper has more than the 30-year-old keeper. He is tied for first place with Danijel Subai and Dominik Livakovi of Croatia, Sergio Goycochea of Argentina, and Harald Schumacher of Germany.

Livakovic has been pushed into the spotlight following some outstanding performances in Qatar, where he conceded only one goal in three group-stage matches. His best moments have come in the knockout stages, with three shootout saves against Japan and one against Brazil as Croatia advanced to the final four. However, the Dinamo Zagreb goalkeeper handed away a controversial penalty and allowed three goals as Croatia was ousted in the semifinals by Argentina.

After missing the 2-0 win over Belgium due to a late injury, Sevilla’s Bounou conceded just once in two group games. Bounou has kept back-to-back clean sheets in the knockouts against Spain and Portugal, as well as saving two shootout penalties against La Roja.

Despite being the most experienced of the four, Lloris has the least chance of winning the award, even if France retains their title. He hasn’t kept a single clean sheet in Qatar, conceding goals to Australia, Denmark, Poland, and England, and he was relieved to see Harry Kane’s second penalty sail over his crossbar in the previous round. Hugo lloris concede two outfield goals and four goals in the penalties as France hand over their title of World Champions.
