Otamendi, 34, was one of Argentina’s three totalists and one of the mainstays of the defense throughout the tournament.
The center-back is in his third season at Luz, coming from Manchester City, after four years at FC Porto (2010/11 to 2013/14).
Nicolás Otamendi, together with his teammate Enzo Fernández, chosen the best young player of the tournament, also gave the first world title to the Portuguese First League, as the first footballers to win the competition while participating in the Portuguese championship.
Argentina won the World Cup for the third time today, repeating 1978 and 1986, by beating France on penalties, in a match played in Lusail, Qatar.
