Unai Emery: "When we needed to feel strong in our structure, medium block or low block, we did it. It is 1-0, 90 minutes. The last round, Lille lost 1-0 against Red Star and then came back." #AVFC

Unai Emery: "Overall, how the players responded, knowing how difficult this competition is, with English clubs in Europe competitions yesterday - which was really 'wow' with the difficulties English clubs had in Europe - it was very important how we responded." #AVFC

#AVFC will take a one-goal advantage back to Birmingham for next week's second leg vs Lille after winning 1-0 in France. Watkins ended his seven-game goal drought with an expertly taken header. Onana and Luiz impressed in midfield. 👏 https///www.birminghammail.co.u//spor//footb

FT: Lille 0-1 #AVFC Much-needed win. Performance was lacking, particularly in possession and in the final third. A better, more cohesive Villa may have killed off the tie, but to win the first leg away from home is always a big achievement. Hopefully starts to restore confidence
