On bench in season finale Martinez was an unused substitute in last weekend's defeat against Mallorca.

Impact Martinez roughly doubled his playing time this campaign, tallying a goal and an assist in 26 La Liga appearances (nine starts). The 22-year-old will continue to develop next season but will still likely be more of a backup option whether he ends up playing more in central midfield or on the right wing.

Scores winner against Mallorca Martinez scored a goal off his lone shot, sent in two inaccurate crosses and made four tackles (two won) during Sunday's 3-2 win over Mallorca.

Impact Martinez made just his second start of the season after being an unused substitute on the previous match. The forward was largely unproductive, being more noted for his defensive help. But Martinez was kept on the field by the coach and the bet ended up paying off in the 88th minute, when he stepped into the six-yard box to score the game-winning goal for Osasuna. The youngster will hope this helps him to keep getting playing time during Saturday's home match against Rayo Vallecano.
