Aston Villa fail to progress to the Europa Conference League final after losing 6-2 on aggregate to Olympiacos in the semi-finals.
Aston Villa‘s dreams of reaching the Europa Conference League final are over after they suffered a … aggregate defeat to Olympiacos.
After suffering a 4-2 defeat in Birmingham last week, Villa made a nightmare start in Greece as Ayoub El Kaabi followed up his first-leg hat-trick with the opening goal for Olympiacos inside the first 10 minutes.
Not even four-time Europa League winner Unai Emery could orchestrate a miraculous comeback at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, and his jaded Villa outfit found it difficult to break down a resilient red and white defensive wall set up by the hosts.
El Kaabi eventually sealed the victory for Jose Luis Mendilibar‘s side 12 minutes from time, scoring his fifth goal of the two-legged tie and moving onto 10 goals at the top of the Conference League scoring charts with a clinical strike beyond Emiliano Martinez.
