WHAT HAPPENED? Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez has captured headlines for his antics at the World Cup and he will surely have been impressed with Al-Ittihad goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe's behaviour. The stopper celebrated wildly in front of Ever Banega after the 34-year-old missed a penalty for Al-Shabab in the King Cup of Champions.

The former Argentina international was mocked by his Al-Shabab team-mates after Saudi Arabia stunned Lionel Messi and Co. in Argentina's first game of the World Cup. However, Banega had the last laugh, with La Albiceleste recovering to go on and win the trophy in Qatar.
