'Needs to see a psychiatrist' - Former Arsenal and Chelsea star hits out at Emiliano Martinez for 'going too far' ahead of PSG clash

FA Cup

Crystal Palace

Aston Villa

<p>Martinez wore <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/aston-villa-argentina-no-1-emi-martinez-teases-psg-fans-world-cup-cap-ahead-of-champions-league-quarter-final/bltc14fe27aef187f9c" target="_blank">an Argentina cap with the French cockerel and the four trophies he has won with the national team</a>, cementing his position as enemy number one in the country - and 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit has claimed the goalkeeper has "gone too far".</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Petit said: "I blame Martínez for going too far. Enough is enough. I'm the first to accept that teasing is part of football and life in general, but it shouldn't constantly descend into denigration, it shouldn't be disrespectful, it shouldn't descend into harassment. The boy needs to undergo psychotherapy, to see a psychiatrist, because we don't have the same definition of what is out of bounds. This guy, frankly, needs to learn to control himself emotionally."</p>

WHAT PETIT SAID

<p>Martinez's pantomime villain reputation was forged at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when his penalty shoot-out antics helped Argentina beat France in the final. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-emi-martinez-not-sent-off-aston-villa-penalty-shootout-lille-second-yellow-card-clashing-home-fans/blt0bb2fc20210bacac#csbeafe59c780777f7" target="_blank">He was up to the same tricks in the Europa Conference League last season</a>, when Villa beat Lille on spot-kicks. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Martinez will be a big part of the Villa effort to get back into <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/aston-villa-player-ratings-psg-morgan-rogers-desire-doue-khvicha-kvaratskhelia-champions-league-quarter-final-edge/blt70e6741467b9a343" target="_blank">a tie they trail 3-1 after defeat at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday</a>. He is also set to feature in their Premier League clash at Southampton on Saturday. </p>
