Martinez, 31, expressed his determination to secure silverware and make a mark in the Champions League while speaking to reporters. He highlighted Villa's aspirations, stating, “Since day one, I have believed that I will leave this club one day with silverware or winning the Champions League. It’s a club that aims to be in the Champions League and win trophies. The main conversation with manager Unai Emery was about how we can achieve that goal.”

The goalkeeper emphasized his commitment to Villa's progress, mentioning plans to extend Villa Park, the club's stadium. Martinez stressed his proactive approach, stating, “I’m not here to waste time. Since I joined, we’ve been moving forward.
