Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez says he didn't take personally last night's jeers at the Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Martinez was awarded the Lev Yashin Trophy as Goalkeeper of the Year, but not before being booed by the local French crowd.

Speaking afterwards, the Argentine said: "We won the World Cup against France, so I understand that there is anger or something else.

"It is an incredible feeling (to win the Yashin Trophy), to be here with my wife, my parents and my teammates.

"It is a privilege to have won this award. It is an individual trophy, but it also rewards the team."
