Speaking post-match to MUTV, Martinez admitted that scoring in front of the home crowd with his girlfriend watching from the stands made it an unforgettable occasion. The 28-year-old defender described the moment as pure joy following a dominant collective performance.
He acknowledged that the raw energy generated by the iconic Champions League anthem at Old Trafford can be difficult to contain.
“It’s an amazing feeling, scoring in this amazing and beautiful stadium with those people and also my girlfriend being there,” Martinez said. “Tonight, honestly, I’m one of the happiest people in the world.”
