In the final match of the league season against Paços de Ferreira, Martínez sealed the 2–0 victory after scoring the second goal and assuring Porto's third consecutive league title, finishing just one point ahead of rivals Benfica, who had also won their final match. The goal marked his 26th goal in the league, securing him top goal-scoring honours. With winning the Portuguese SuperCup earlier in the season, finishing as top goal scorer and winning the league title (in just his debut season in Europe), Martínez had a successful season debut.

In the quarter-final first leg on 15 April 2015, he scored the last goal in a 3–1 victory over Bayern Munich, also being fouled by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer for the penalty that Ricardo Quaresma ultimately converted for the opening goal. Martínez netted again in the second leg six days later, heading a consolation from Héctor Herrera's cross as Porto lost 1–6 in Munich, thus being eliminated from the competition.
