como embajador inigualable del deporte argentino.
as an ambassador *par excellence* of Argentine sports.


Explanation:
O "the" en vez de "an."

La verdad no creo que "unrivaled", "timeless", o "incomparable" encajan muy bien en este contexto.

Par excellence es un modismo francés que se usa con frecuencia en inglés, y significa "sin parangón." El escribirlo en cursiva no es obligatorio en este caso.

Suerte.
