  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Martinez painted the colours of the Argentina flag on the left side of his head during the World Cup in Qatar. He later revealed that he was forced to paint his hair after a bet between him, Marcos Acuna, Guido Rodriguez, and German Pezzella. Although Martinez did not reveal what the bet was about, we can assume that whatever it was, the goalkeeper might have lost it as he had to dye his hair. The Aston Villa keeper was seen getting his hair dyed with the same colours once again before taking the pitch with the Albiceleste.
