Martinez, Courtois and Bounu battle for best FIFA goalkeeper

Martinez , the Argentine goalkeeper currently playing for Aston Villa, performed well in the World Cup in Qatar. Especially in the penalty shootout between Argentina and France, he successfully blocked the French player's shot, helping Argentina win the World Cup for the third time and also won the Golden Glove Award.


Morocco goalkeeper Bounu , who plays for Sevilla, has also impressed in Qatar. Morocco broke through the siege with a solid wall in the World Cup. Bounu kept clean sheets many times in the game, helping Morocco become the first African country to enter the World Cup semi-finals, and tied Martinez's record of three clean sheets.


Although the Belgian goalkeeper Courtois did not have an amazing performance in the World Cup in Qatar, Courtois played a big role in the club competition. Last season, he helped Real Madrid win the Champions League and La Liga. In the last Europa League, Courtois successfully made 9 saves to help Real Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 to win the championship. The success rate of saves in this event was as high as 80.56%.


The FIFA Awards Ceremony will be held on February 27, and all winners will be invited to come. These winners are voted by national team coaches, captains, sports reporters from various countries and fans.
