Real Madrid beat Chelsea 2-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. In the 'merengue' box, Thibaut Courtois was one of the figures, preventing his fence from being beaten in the first half. After the outstanding performance of the Belgian, the 'merengues' fans wanted to make fun of Emiliano Martínez, who shines in the Premier League.

Through Twitter, the fans of the 'King of Europe' wanted to highlight the performance of their goalkeeper to go against 'Dibu', who was key in the World Cup in Qatar for the Argentine team to achieve the long-awaited title. Courtois prevented Chelsea from giving a surprise at the Santiago Bernabéu and the fans wanted to "rub back" what was done by the goalkeeper of the current Champions League champion.

The resistance of the fans in Spain is due to the fact that 'Dibu' won the 'The Best' award for best goalkeeper of 2022 and left Courtois on the road. Although it is inevitable to hide the talent of the Belgian, Emi Martínez had a dream year, where he won the Finalissima, was a figure for Aston Villa in the Premier League and won the World Cup in Qatar as a figure.

Where will be the future of Emiliano Martínez after this season?

Now, while the Spanish created a non-existent rivalry, the 'Dibu' is focused on making history with Aston Villa and getting into the qualifying zone for international competition. However, the world champion wants to play in a leading team in the Champions League and the "villains" would not refuse to let him out, despite the fact that he has a contract until 2027. "Daily Mail" pointed out that his current team expects at least 40 million for his pass.
