Martinez was criticized for overacting.

Emiliano Martinez continues to be a controversial figure due to a series of offensive actions both on and off the pitch.

Martinez consistently draws attention with his provocative antics.

Former football star Emmanuel Petit bluntly stated on Rothen's Enflamme podcast: "He recently claimed in an interview that he never crossed the line. To me, Dibu Martinez needs to see a psychologist immediately. Obviously, we don't have the same definition of 'the line.' But he needs to learn to control his emotions."

Petit continued to condemn Dibu's behavior: "I don't think he needs to express himself in such an extreme way to play well. He's a good goalkeeper, no denying that. But everywhere he goes, he leaves a very unpleasant impression. Provocation is part of the game. But Dibu has crossed the line many times. He's turned confidence into disrespect. It's time to stop."

Since their victory at the 2022 World Cup, Martinez has been a thorn in the side of French fans, especially after his taunting of Kylian Mbappe during the championship celebrations. These provocative and taunting actions, while popular among some Argentinian supporters, have made him a "thorn in the side" of many.

Before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, which Aston Villa lost 1-3 to PSG on April 10th, the Aston Villa goalkeeper continued to draw attention when he arrived at Parc des Princes wearing a hat printed with the titles he had won with the Argentine national team. This action was seen as a deliberate provocation against French fans.

"Martinez has earned the world's admiration for his spectacular saves. He is an icon of unwavering fighting spirit. But his talent is accompanied by controversial behavior, which has overshadowed his professional value with off-field controversies," Marca wrote.
