Martínez joined Aston Villa in September 2020, making an immediate impact by saving a penalty in his debut match. He was a standout performer in his first season, equaling the club's record for the most clean sheets in a single Premier League season by keeping 15 clean sheets.
Since joining Aston Villa, Martínez has made over 150 appearances for the club and has even captained the team on several occasions.
On the international stage, Martínez has also excelled with the Argentina national team. Since his move to Aston Villa, he has won the Copa América twice and played a key role in Argentina's triumph at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, helping his country secure its third World Cup title.
