Things got heated between Emiliano Martínez and Jack Grealish during the meeting between Aston Villa and Manchester City (2-1). While Peter Banks, referee of the match, had whistled the half-time match of the 17th day of the Premier League, the Argentinian goalkeeper blocked the England international at the entrance to the stadium corridor. “ You think you’re a big boy, huh “, said the 2022 world champion to Grealish in a video filmed by a supporter and posted on social networks.
Separated by a member of staff, Grealish and Martínez exchanged a few more words before continuing on their way to their respective locker rooms. The 32-year-old goalkeeper was warned by the referee for his behavior off the field. Also upset by the supporters of his former club, Grealish made the “3” sign recalling the number of Premier Leagues he won with Manchester City.
