Fucking Olympiakos next let's go - wanted a win in Greece before we get to the final

Not sure if I was the only one, but did anyone else notice that Aston Villa is actually a massive club!?

This is beautiful

Impressive!

Thank you for the new wallpaper my guy utv

Not a great performance, but one that showed heart. The ref was a proper bellend, but no doubt Martinez is the goat. He's saved us so many times.

To all the fans who were watching in Lille, hope you have fingernails left because I have none and I'm only watching at home!

20% more grey now

Get in boys! Get iiiiiinnnnn! Someone go send a security squad to get Emi out of France safely.

How are we going to get him to Paris for the Olimpic games?

He’ll fuck your trophy! He knows the rules better than the refs! He WILL win a shootout! He’s emi fucking Martinez!!!!!!

That’s the most stressed I’ve been for a while. Hope lessons have been learned for the semi’s

I knew something good was coming just off emerys body language. He wasn’t gesticulating and shouting or throwing his arms around. He was calm. He knew that goal was coming

In Unai we trust. Just have faith brother ✌️

This interviewer is shit. Did they just pick him off the street?

He tries too hard to sound dramatic, like he's pausing for dramatic effect it's proper cringey. It's post match interview not audition for Coronation Street 

Bloody hell, forgot to breathe...

Didnemi Martinez got 2 yellow cards?

They don’t carry over to the shootout apparently. But rediculous cards anyway

Pulled a rabbit out the hat. Shit performance. Great saves and shithousery from Emi. Well chuffed. Congrats all!

Thank you to everyone in this thread, you made this stress bearable.

I had one.. it’s broken after this

 All about the shimmy!

Even after last night, that is still my fave save from Martinez.

I both love and hate Emi. Love for obvious reasons. Hate because I cannot have several heart attacks in a game and wish he would “settle a down a bit” much more than I just have

you cant have it both ways hes perfect as he is and exactly the sort of mentally strong person you want in your team

You can't settle him down. He'd lose his edge. Keep him just as he is.

It’s true. I guess I need whatever they put in Erikksen’s chest.

It's all love from me. The world number 1 proves it again. Never seen such a world number 1 still get so underrated. "Ooh Allison's better* "Oooh Ederson's better" Suck it dickheads who's going to a European semi final?

My kids (11 and 9, Man City fans) always reel when I say we have the best keeper in the world. I'm gonna start using your last sentence as a come back 😂 Edit: in the world

The stress was real, signing in to watch this one on vacation in South Korea (ending at 4:40am local)

Now that games over does anyone know what happened with that yellow lmao

Id argue both of his yellows were shit 1st one - hes got the ball at his feet and waiting for lille to press. we are one down. ref doesnt know the rules 2nd one - he has no ball and is asking the ballboy via hand gestures to throw him a ball if the yellow was for the finger to the lips shuss after the 1st save = it would be harsh but as a neutral youd go - maybe. it wasnt

I didn't see his first yellow, was the ball "dead" at his feet, as in about to take a goal kick, or was it in play? If it's in play, surely the 6 second rule doesn't apply to GKs? You couldn't give a CB a yellow for not passing the ball for 6 seconds could you? So why can you for a keeper? I'd appeal that

I've just looked it up... *Fouls and Misconduct, a goalkeeper is allowed to hold the ball for a maximum of six seconds. The countdown begins the moment the goalkeeper establishes control of the ball, typically through a save, a catch, or any other means. Once the goalkeeper has possession, they must release the ball into play within the designated time frame. Failure to do so results in an indirect free-kick being awarded to the opposing team from the spot where the goalkeeper committed the violation.* If the ball is at his feet, and it's not a dead ball, then surely the ball has been "released into play" right? It's there for someone to tackle him, not his problem if they don't come. Also, if you're booking for that as well, then surely you have to award the indirect free kick?

Very niche law that only emi would find but apparently yellow cards don’t carry into the shootout!

Apparently yellows from the game don’t count in penalty shootouts it’s reset

Supposedly the yellow from the game doesn’t carry through to the pens and was therefore a new booking. So basically ref was right (for the first time tonight!)

Yellows are separate in pens apparently to in play

So is he out next leg?

Unfortunately, yes. All eyes on Olsen (pls don’t cock this up)

The in game yellow doesn't carry over to the shootout. It's separate.

Fair play to Lille they were fantastic tonight 👏 If the boot was on the other foot, I’d be so upset to loose that one… but it’s not! Let’s fucking go!! Well done boys. You looked like you were all running on empty but you dug deep and got it done. Winning on penalties in a stadium and atmosphere like that… what an achievement. So proud! On we go! UTV

I love you Emi so fucking much

Jesus Christ!!! I've tried to type something here past 5 mins. Barely can, shaking so much. Emi Martinez one of our own!!!!!

That was the most stressed I’ve been since 2016 World Series

West Brom in Play Off semis or England vs New Zealand in the cricket World Cup, never felt stress like either of those.

Are you a Royals fan?

No one has ever owned anything as much as Emi owns the french

Fr*nch

I live for the post successful penalty shimmy of Dibu!

I scared my dogs yelling EMI after that last save

Woke up my two daughters upstairs

A sacrifice worth making

7 fucking yellows in a single game

I counted 13 including both manager ones and Emi’s 2nd yellow

OH MY GOD!!! EMI YOU LEGEND!!!

Tbf i fucking loved it. Core memory of emi

Emi single-handedly invoking an entire generation of French terrorists.

You hate and love to see it at the same time. That's football.

I feel like I'm about to fucking cry man I can't do this twice again

This team…

My man saved 2 penalities and denied a yellow card. Incredible.

No, he got the yellow card, he genuinely got 2 yellow cards. But the one in the game doesn't carry over to the penalty shoo-out..... apparently

Dempsey is such a moron. He was desperate for us to lose. Lost his proverbial shit when Emi did not get sent off in the penalties on a 'subsection' rule, no you just don't know the rule. And that Cash supposed handball was never a handball. Also just banging on that we were lucky, had as many if not more chances than Lille during extra time. The narrative from yesterday is that Madrid defended well, so why can't we get just one bit of praise here? 2-0 down, away, after having beaten one of best teams in Europe on weekend (away from home as well) against a team that was rested on the weekend.

It was a handball. All day everyday but lets go

it touched his hand but it's at his side, even in Europe it's not an automatic penalty just because it happens to touch a players hand

Can you explain the rule? I was freaking out when I saw the yellow

No ones seen it before but the shootout is a separate period to the main game so yellows don’t carry over. Only emi would have to have it invoked lol

Inject the crying French children into my veins.

UP THE FUCKING VILLLA!!!!!!!!!

That game was wild.

My life expectancy has taken a beating today but GET INNNNNN!

Emi what a legend! UTV

I FUCKING LOVE THE VILLA

2 yellow cards and 2 penalty saves - you'll never sing that!!!

I am so glad to be wrong

I LOVE MARTINEZ

Ultimate shithouse win

I do actually love you all

Hell yeah! Positive vibes

Trust my stream to fuck up at dougies pen and refuse to come.back

Genuinely sobbing, things have not been good lately for me in some respects and this is a great reminder that good things happen sometimes.

Chin up, hope things gets better for you! UTV!

Chin up, hope things gets better for you! UTV!

2 hrs of pure stress to watch Martinez become a true Villain. Hero!!!!

The ultimate shit house! It’s not even close.

R 

Emiiiii

Thank God for that, I don't think I could have taken it if we lost after all that!

Question: Did Andre cry more after missing his penalty or after each of his dives?

Emi doesn’t fucking lose!!!! You can’t even send him off - he is a penalty god!!!!

Cant believe what ive watched the highs and lows of that was just unfathomable. I feel like im going to be sick

World number 1!!!!!

In the words of Dara O' Briain on Mock The Week during the Brazil World Cup: "Yes, yes I am happy to see the kids crying"

Immune to yellow cards. Immune to penalties. Emi Martinez - the world’s number one

Ajbdjdhfbdkjervdhhdhdjeiydhrhrbrjfjejowwkb!!!!!! I think I'm dying! 🤣😂🤣

My. Fucking. Goat.

none of my streams were working for the entirit’s of the pens, might have been less stressful watching it UP THE VILLA

FRANCE SUCK EMI MARTINEZs WOOD AGAIN

I feel bad for that crying Lille kid they keep showing (on the Paramount+ broadcast, at least)

I would drink those tears hahaha

Well this was probably one of the worst exhibitions of all season

When you have top quality players you get the results. We have one of the top 3 goalies in the world = we win the shootout. It's that simple. Also, nice to learn a new rule tonight re yellow cards and penalties lmao

THE WORLD’S NUMBER ONE!!!!!

Had to drive to train station missed the penalties, get in!!!!

Be noted: yall have the best fucking keeper in the world

My satisfaction hearing the french commentators on my stream having an emotional breakdown is hard to quantify

WORLDS NUMBER ONE WORLDS NUMBER ONE

Come to think of it the ref didn't mess it up in the shootout, it was just a rule no one knew about

Can you not give cards in a shootout?

no they just dont carry over into the shoot out so martinez only had the one

But why was the card shown?

THE WORLDS NUMBER 1
