Emiliano Martinez makes fun of Lille and the French fans on social media as he wins by a penalty shootout. The Argentine keeper got the better of France once again, but this time at the club level. Martinez's Aston Villa defeated Lille 4-3 in a penalty shootout and advanced to the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals. The Lille fans booed Martinez throughout the game because of the 2022 World Cup final, where Argentina beat France. It looks like Martinez is once again the winner over France in a penalty shootout as he made two saves.

Aston Villa won 2-1 in the first leg at Villa Park against Lille, and things got interesting in the second leg in France. Lille took the lead in the 15th minute with a great goal by Yusuf Yazici. Martinez received a yellow card in the 39th minute for time wasting. In the second half, Lille scored a second goal courtesy of a header by Benjamin Andre. Matty Cash scored in the 87th minute of Aston Villa to send the game to extra time.

The game stayed 3-3 on aggregate after 120 minutes played, and a penalty shootout decided the winner. Martinez saved two penalties and shushed the French club, which gave them bad flashbacks to the 2022 World Cup final. Martinez's mind games continue to work on penalties, and he now has an impressive record. After the game, Martinez also posted a picture on Instagram celebrating the win of his latest penalty shootout against France's Lille with a song that praised Argentina's World Cup win over France two years ago called, "Three stars in the set."
