Yesterday, Juventus player Angel Di Maria praised Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
After playing his 100th Premier League game, the Argentine wrote on Instagram.
Aston Villa defeated Bournemouth 3-0, keeping their faint chances of qualifying for Europe alive.
After taking over for Steven Gerrard, Unai Emery has transformed Villa's fortunes.
He swiftly drew the squad away from any relegation struggle, and they've now caught up to Fulham and others.
Douglas Luiz scored first to set the tone for the game.
The visitors didn't put Emi Martinez through much until two late goals from Jacob Ramsey and Emi Buendia sealed the stalemate.
Martinez maintained his 34th Premier League clean sheet yesterday, breaking the record for the most clean sheets in a Villa player's first 100 league games.
Martinez's antics for Aston Villa were definitely being seen by Juventus star Angel Di Maria.
Posting on Instagram after the match, Martinez said: “Really proud to break the record for most clean sheets after 100 Premier League games.
“But more importantly we came away with the win!
“A great performance from the lads and amazing support as always!”
After Aston Villa's victory, Di Maria commented on Martinez's tweet and said that the goalie was blazing.
The future of Martinez is currently in doubt with report suggesting he could move in the summer.
The 30-year-old has lately been strongly associated with Tottenham and could be drawn to playing more European soccer.
The goalkeeper, who may end up replacing another World Cup champion in Hugo Lloris, may fetch as much as £60 million from Aston Villa.
