Aston Villa Report

Jacob Tanswell

Emery: "Last week, our first approach in their box was minute 28. Our first corner was minute 37. We spoke this morning that something different tonight should be our start - to be ruthless in the attacking third to go against them.” #AVFC

Unai Emery: “Today we extended the same gameplan we did in Bologna, planning the match for their style - a lot of duels. "Our objective (today) was when to play in combination, doing more passes. We played a serious, serious match." #AVFC

Ollie Watkins, century-maker, Aston Villa's European acumen, discipline of full-backs and Nottingham Forest in the semi-final. Piece from a great night at Villa Park. @theathleticfc.bsky.social #AVFC https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7201693/2026/04/16/aston-villa-bologna-watki

FT: #AVFC 4-0 Bologna (7-1 on agg) Villa through to the semi-finals. 9 straight wins in Europe with Emery losing one of his previous 26 in the Europa League. Emery's European acumen has been long assured, but now so too is Villa's.Comfortably in the final four & three games away

Onana off for Bogarde. All five changes made and both full-backs still on. Emery clearly has immense trust in both Cash and Digne in keeping things tidy in their tackling. #AVFC
