Emi Martinez will be suspended for the first leg of Villa’s Europa Conference League semi-final with Olympiacos after being booked twice in Thursday’s dramatic win over Lille.
Emi Martinez receives decision on potential suspension for Europa Conference League semi-final first leg
The Argentina international, booed throughout the night, was booked for time-wasting in the first half and then again when referee Ivan Kruzliak deemed him to be inciting the crowd after saving from Nabil Bentaleb, with most of those inside the stadium - including many of Villa’s players - unaware of the rule that cards are re-set at the start of a penalty shoot-out.
Martinez was Villa’s hero - and once more the villain in France - after saving from Bentaleb and Benjamin Andre as Unai Emery’s team scraped into the last-four with a 4-3 shoot-out win, after the tie had finished 3-3 on aggregate.
