Emiliano Martinez's heroics in the penalty shootout for Aston Villa against Lille have sparked discussions due to his second yellow card not resulting in a red card. Despite the confusion, IFAB rules state that cards from the match do not carry over into the shootout. Martinez's performance was crucial in sending Aston Villa to their first European semi-final since 1982. Meanwhile, Liverpool, West Ham, and other English clubs faced eliminations in European competitions.
