Ollie Watkins: "In the first leg, we were very passive. They deserved the win, but it was always going to be more difficult at Villa Park. After the performance against Tottenham, everyone’s mind was on this game." [TNT] #AVFC

To produce that performance, one of #AVFC's best, most tactically and physically astute of the season felt significant. Particularly to overcome any psychological block and a chance to win a major trophy for the first time in 30 years. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7255474/202

Aston Villa reach their first European final in 44 years. Goals from Ollie Watkins, Emiliano Buendia and John McGinn's double earned Unai Emery's side a 4-1 aggregate victory over Nottingham Forest. Villa stepped up when it mattered the most — they will face Freiburg in Istanbul

GOAL: GET THOSE GOGGLES BACK OUT!!!! McGINN makes it 4-0 on the night! Rogers rolls it across the box, for the skipper to beat Ortega once again. #AVFC 4-0 Nottingham Forest (4-1 AGG)

GOAL: JOHN McGINNNN YA BEAUTY!!!! He sweeps Villa into a two-goal advantage. The noise inside Villa Park is something else right now. #AVFC 3-0 Nottingham Forest (3-1 AGG)

Just think I've seen Ollie Watkins continuously sprint for about a minute, there. Chasing all the way back to the corner flag to help out Matty Cash. Lamare Bogarde is coming on. #AVFC

Villa are suffocating Fo,rest who are yet to register a shot on target. Villa pressing high, in packs and taking few touches on the ball before moving it forward. So far, Villa have dug out one of their best performances when it mattered the most. #AVFC
