“I have experience in changing things – both positively and negatively,” he stated before the return leg.
He went on to add, “It will be different this time. We want to make history for Aston Villa.”
“Last year, we reached the Conference League semifinals; this year, our eyes are on the Champions League.”
Emery emphasised the fans’ crucial role:

They have remained unbeaten at home in both the Premier League and the Champions League since last August.
This form gives the team confidence and belief that they can overcome the deficit.
Looking Ahead to Extra Time and Beyond
Emery remains optimistic:
“It is up to us to adhere to our game plan and remain consistent.”
“If we progress to extra time, that would be fantastic. And if it comes to penalties, that too will be thrilling.”
His words underline the importance of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
Final Thoughts
With ambition and high stakes on both sides, this encounter promises excitement and strategic intensity.
Aston Villa hope to defy the odds and script history.
