Martinez's mistake came in the 11th minute at Villa Park. He pushed a cross from Bradley Barcola straight into the feet of the onrushing Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan defender easily slotted the ball into the home team's net, opening the scoring. The mistake left Aston Villa fans disappointed, and Martinez was criticised on social media.
One fan wrote on X: "Emi Martinez is almost on par with Onana or Robert Sanchez, not Alisson or Courtois." Another account was also harsh: "Emi Martinez is a time bomb. I will never forgive Messi for giving this guy a brilliant career."
One fan quipped: "How is Martinez called 'the best goalkeeper in the world '?", while another said: "Martinez paid the price for his arrogance. A below average performance and unacceptable."
Martinez conceded another goal in the 27th minute from Nuno Mendes in the penalty area. Although Aston Villa scored three goals later thanks to Tielemans, McGinn and Konsa, the Premier League representative was still eliminated after losing 4-5 on aggregate after two matches.
Against PSG, Martinez made 5 saves. His pass accuracy was only 59%. The goalkeeper also had a long ball on target against PSG.
Aston Villa missed out on reaching the Champions League semi-finals after an impressive season. They return to the Premier League and host Newcastle on April 19 in Round 33.
