Santino Barbi (born June 14, 2005, in Córdoba) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Talleres in the Argentine Primera División. He is also the starting goalkeeper for the Argentina U-20 national team. In the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, he won the Golden Glove, making him the most valuable goalkeeper of the tournament. [1]
Barbi joined Talleres in 2021 at the age of 15. At 18, he began training with the first team and promptly signed a contract with the club until 2027. [2] In 2024, he was included in the senior squad for several matches and received a call-up to the Argentine U-20 national team. That same year, he was awarded the "Premio Estímulo" by La Voz del Interior, which recognizes outstanding figures in Córdoba sports. [3]
Throughout 2024, Barbi was frequently called up to the Argentina U-20 team. He was the starting goalkeeper in their runner-up campaign at the Alcudia International U-20 Football Tournament. [4] In November, he was again selected by coach Javier Mascherano for a series of friendly matches. [5]
In 2025, the goalkeeper participated in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, where his standout performances helped lead his country to the final. Argentina ultimately lost 2-0 to Morocco. Despite the defeat, Barbi was named the best goalkeeper of the tournament. [1]
