FOOTBALL fans have claimed Arsenal's Bernd Leno suffering a horrific injury against Brighton in June 2020 was the "moment the entire footballing timeline changed".<\/p>\n

Leno's injury caused by Brighton's Neal Maupay marked a turning point in the career of second-choice Gunners keeper Emiliano Martinez – who went on to win the World Cup last year.<\/p>\n

Arsenal's fateful trip to Brighton may have ended in a 2-1 defeat but the game gave the limelight to Martinez.<\/p>\n

One fan pinpointed that "this singular event changed the whole footballing timeline".<\/p>\n

Before that game, the Argentine had been a back-up shot-stopper for the Gunners for a decade and made as many Premier League appearances – six – as he'dhad loan spells.<\/p>\n

In 2020 he never even played for Argentina but in the first half of Arsenal's defeat at Brighton, Maupay's awkward clash with Leno changed everything for the 31-year-old.<\/p>\n

With Leno now out Martinez was in – a chance he had been dying for.<\/p>\n

The Argentine helped the Gunners overcome their worst Premier League finish since 1995 after they lifted the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Martinez then made a move to Aston Villa for \u00a320million during the summer of 2020.<\/p>\n

His top form for Villa earned him his Argentina debut in June 2021 and then later that year he lifted the Copa America with his country – and was named the tournament's best goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

His heroics in the penalty shootout against France in the final secured Argentina the title and him the Golden Glove.<\/p>\n

On Monday night he continued his in credible rise, securing the Yashin Trophy at the Ballon d'Or ceremony for the best-performing goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

And that is why fans have concluded that without Maupay's nudge, Martinez's extraordinary journey would never have happened.<\/p>\n
