Emi Martinez began the night by walking onto the field with his children and parading a pair of trophies for being the world’s best goalkeeper for the last two years.

Seven games now without victory for Unai Emery’s Aston Villa and, while the famous European opponents still come to Villa Park and the night games retain their sense of occasion, this is starting to feel like an awkward kind of slump.

Aston Villa‘s defence was once again in fine form as they beat ... And even they needed a penalty to beat Emiliano Martinez. Bayern Munich also had seven shots on target against Villa with an xG of 1.55. But they didn’t score. And neither did Juventus.

Aston Villa were denied a famous Champions League win over Juventus by a controversial refereeing decision, but they were indebted to the brilliance of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in a goalless draw with the Italian giants.
