The star of Aston Villa, Emi Martinez, was strongly criticized for his expensive error during the first goal of Paris Saint-Germain during the crucial shock in the Champions League.

After losing the first leg of this quarter-final of the Champions League in Paris (3-1) last week, Villa could not afford any error at Villa Park on Tuesday evening. But it happened in the 11th minute: Martinez failed to take over a center from Bradley Barcola, following confusion with defender Pau Torres, and Achraf Hakimi scored a few seconds later.

The Argentinian was then strongly criticized on social networks, some qualifying him as a “means like a nail” and claiming that his compatriot Lionel Messi “gave him a career”.

Emiliano Martinez atomized by supporters after his match against PSG.

@John6011527 posted on X: “ Emi Martinez is closer to Onana/Sanchez than Alisson/Courtois. One of the worst winners of the Yashin Trophy of all time … “

@1Utred tweeted: “ I will never forgive Messi and Maupay to have offered a career to this neglected player. ”

@Alimullaley commented: ” How can Diable Martinez be described as “best goalkeeper in the world”? ”

@Matt2860 underlined: “There is very little in football that I appreciate as much as MartĂ­nez's error for Villa. »Middle to shit.

Finally, @Jonesniall94 added: “Emi Martinez's public relations are extraordinary. »»

Unfortunately for Villa, it seems that they are eliminated from the Champions League in the quarterfinals after a superb course in the competition. For its part, PSG could be favorite to go to the end this year.

After this match, Villa will find Villa Park on Saturday to receive Newcastle United in the Premier League.
