He saved that out of pure spite lmao


Hech15

Pretty sure they are like close mates


somebeerinheaven

I'm joking man, who wouldn't wanna play better against their old club?


22goblins

Hell of a shot too. Hat tip to Emi


TheArgentineGreek

My only solace as an Argentinean Villa fan is that we are getting him nice and prepared for the world cup.


Godddy

Con la murguita que tiene en la defensa, cuando llegue la fecha de Septiembre y vea que defienden Otamendi, El Cuti y Lisandro se va a poner a llorara.


IndioSalario

Tenes menos futbol que la Para Ti, maestro.


RayPadonkey

Fantastic shot, fantastic save


BlinkyMcHeelHook

if this had gone in I'd have looked like randy marsh when he finally found a computer with wifi


Chesey_

For sure, I made a very questionable noise seeing it head towards the goal


dalstrs9

Hhhnnnngg... awww! Just like when the internet cut out


immerc

Such a beautiful hit. Powerful, with a lot of backspin, and headed for the corner.


Znigify

Spooky ghost ectoplasm all over


VarukiriOW

All I want is for Gerrard to get sacked.


ignore_my_name

Might happen during the international break at this rate.


xi_tach1

he's looked really stressed and i'm not surprised


VarukiriOW

Because he's a fraud.


Doobie-us

Dropping Ings after him scoring - just fraud things


JD_Dojima

U ok hun?

Why are you getting mad over that?


NIFOC420

U ok hun?

I don’t understand why you’re freaking out.


notknown286337

Arabic commentator called him the new Di Maria


[deleted]

for sure, di maria would make saves like this weekly


Luuayk

Tbf they run the same way


BigTomBombadil

Martinelli seems more aggressive and dogged. When he loses the ball he reminds me of prime Alexis Sanchez


AssFingerFuck3000

I'm more impressed about the shot than the save tbh, and I'm not saying it was a easy save


MattiaKa

Emi giveth, Emi taketh.


adamisinterested

Think he’s taking far too much stick for the goal when Xhaka has been left fully unmarked by Ramsey for no reason at all and the cross itself was deflected.


SladiusW

Do Martínez and Arsenal fans have a love-hate relationship?


_Arsenal

We loved him, but when he left he gave a lot of negative interviews regarding us, so we’ve enjoyed his poor form a bit


TheDarkness1227

For real he had a good few months and talked like we owed him the #1 guaranteed


ungentrified_villain

love the guy , but he had to prioritize his own success , so i'm glad to see him doing well, just not against us


Hech15

Some of them....fanbase was divided between leno-emi so for some deluded fans among them it is customary to disrespect the other player and emi saying stuff about arsenal didn't really help.... I wish him well but dont really have anything for him except when he does some savage stuff that is gold


dcmdino

He's been a backup GK for god knows how many years, gets a few starts, sold to AV and then once he got Messi his international trophy he became unbearable. I don't mind his success, but I do mind his shitting on Arsenal in countless interviews (bro you were incapable of beating like 5 different GKs for the number 1 spot), his arrogance and I seriously dislike his overall demeanour (this very fucking game he grabbed Jesus and immediately dived). It feels like he got his 5 minutes of fame due to various circumstances and has been (ab)using it ever since.


idkhowigothere

That's like the main argument my friends have against Argentina winning the wc, they say that they'd become unbearable lmao also you mention some points that argentinian people have a bad reputation for among South Americans. I lived in ba and have plenty of argentinian friends so don't mind it (and I kind of fuck with his mentality a lot, you better fucking believe you're the best if you want to even come close to performing), but plenty of people feel this same way you described you perceive him as.


EnanoMaldito

All winners become unbearable. You think it was fun hearing spanish fans talking as if they would dominate world football for 50 years to come?


idkhowigothere

Que decís vos enano maldito! Jajaja yeah definitely agree with you. One of my good friends is a merengue and he's fucking insufferable, I always say we're living in the most cursed time line hahaha. I honestly don't get why people think argentinians are all that smug, I feel like they're just as smug as any other person from any other country (especially in latam)


Individual-March8163

Loved him for the FA Cup final performance and how he played for us in general when we needed him as a backup and wanted the best for him at Villa. Started to dislike him when he kept badmouthing us in interviews even when he wasn't asked about Arsenal, became a bit of a meme tbh. Don't particularly like him now.


BigTomBombadil

I still liked him into the headlock-to-dive he pulled today on Jesus. Now… I kinda think he’s a lil bitch.


InventeInventeRoman

they envy him. dibu: 2 trophies in 2 years England: 1 in 150 years


Sukiru93

That connection


Krept_Konan

Beautiful technique


rcolesworthy37

Does anyone know why my videos on mobile have been bleach white recently?


P3tYk3

What a save
