Gonzalo Ariel Montiel (born 1 January 1997) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as right-back for La Liga club Sevilla and the Argentina national team. He scored the winning penalty at the 2022 World Cup.[3]

Club career

River Plate

Montiel started his career at the River Plate academy. On 30 April 2016, he made his debut for the club's first team at the age of 19. He played four matches the 2016–17 season. He lifted the Copa Argentina trophy after playing all the matches from the last 16 to the final, in which his team beat CA Tucumán. He played in the Copa Libertadores, scoring a goal and assisting three, playing every minute from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals, where River Plate were defeated by Lanús.

In the 2017–18 season, Montiel played 35 matches, fifteen of them coming in the league. He made 14 appearances he made as he lifted the Copa Libertadores at the Santiago Bernabeu against Boca Juniors. Playing five matches in the Copa Argentina, the team were eliminated on penalties in the semi-finals against Gimnasia. The team secured a double that season as they beat Boca Juniors in the Argentine Super Cup.

The following season, Montiel played 12 matches in the league without being substituted. For the second season in a row, Montiel reached the Copa Libertadores final after twelve matches; however, River Plate would be defeated by Flamengo. He won the Copa Argentina once more as River beat Central Córdoba - he played every minute in the cup run. After winning last season's Copa Libertadores, River contested the FIFA Club World Cup where they finished third. An injury prevented him from playing in the Super Cup. After recovering, he returned to contest the Recopa as River overcame a 1–0 first-leg defeat to win the trophy with a 3–0 win against Club Athletico Paranaense.[3]

Sevilla

On 13 August 2021, La Liga club Sevilla announced the signing of Montiel on a three-year deal.[4]

International career

In March 2019, Montiel was named in Argentina's squad for friendlies against Venezuela and Morocco by manager Lionel Scaloni.[5] On 22 March, Montiel made his debut against Venezuela.[6]

On 11 June 2021, Montiel was one of the 28-man squad announced by Argentina for the 2021 Copa América tournament.[7] He played four of the seven matches played by the team in the tournament including the final, which he had to complete with a bleeding ankle as a result of a tackle from Fred in the first half of the game.[8]

In November 2022, Montiel was named in the final squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.[9] On 18 December, he gave up a critical penalty late in extra time after a handball, but then scored the tournament-winning penalty kick for Argentina in a 4–2 victory against France to win the final, when the game went to penalties after a 3–3 draw.[10]
