He told 90football: "What I didn't like about Emiliano Martinez's behavior was the lack of respect. I find him very arrogant. The fact of having played against him and having eliminated him...

"I'm happy because I made my French friends and our supporters happy."

Biancone was referring to Olympiakos defeating Villa in last season's Europa Conference League semifinal ahead of winning the final.

He also said: "His reaction when he received the trophy (for best goalkeeper) was, for me, horrible. It's a lack of respect for the place and the ceremony."
