Martinez, who had initially been cautioned in the 39th minute, was given a second yellow card for his gamesmanship during the penalty shoot-out. He was also carded in the first leg.
Despite not being sent off, UEFA confirmed the suspension to Sky Sports News on Friday, stating Martinez had received three yellow cards in their quarter-final against Lille.
Villa will host the Greek side at Villa Park on May 2 with the return leg a week later in Piraeus.
