@SkySportsNews You may have said the same about Simeone in the early stages of his tenure at Athletico Madrid. People being paid for opinions with v limited vision.

🗣️ ''Emery is one of the Premier League's best manager'' Jay Bothroyd on Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery after his side beat Nottingham Forest to land their spot in Europa League final.

@radutimo @SkySportsNews Stick to trying to get into Europe at all Babs

@SkySportsNews World Class but for Europa League

@TomCollomosse The guy feeling you spoke about pre game … was right again.

🦁 Waking up to a European Final Prince William had seen just about everything as a Villa fan - before last night. The inside story of the Prince’s love for Aston Villa 👇 dailymail.com/sport/football…

Aston Villa’s resurgence, from what looked like a dire position when they were relegated a decade ago and then bought by the … “colourful” Dr Tony Xia, is such a great story. This by @greggevans40 @mjmarr_star is the perfect read for the flight to Istanbul ✈️📖 🇹🇷🏆 #avfc

Prepping Victor Lindelof in midfield, using the crowd's energy, John McGinn "set the standard" and close observers being blown away by the level of dominance - how Aston Villa produced the biggest result of this era. Free to read: @TheAthleticFC #AVFC nytimes.com/athletic/72623…

@SibsMUFC People love to moan about something

Villa - 5th in England, 6th last season Freiburg - 7th in Germany, 5th last season That sounds about right for a Europa League final, not sure what people are complaining about here. It was a good move to stop teams who failed in the CL dropping down.

@WhatTheForkAVFC I didn’t. He was upstaged.

Am i the only one that had no idea Tuchel was there last night? 😂

@paulmorley19 Villa fan here. Totally agree. Ignore those comments. Life is way too short.

Seen plenty of digs on here at the ‘over celebrations’ from #NFFC fans after last week’s home leg, “should have kept our powder dry” etc. Waking up this morning with an ‘empty’ feeling makes you realise that you SHOULD get lost in those special moments when they come along as a football fan. Young or old. Otherwise, what’s the point? For what it’s worth, here’s a video of me and a load of other middle aged blokes getting carried away last week. Do we look like fools now? Perhaps. But who cares. In the moment, it was pure joy. And we bloody loved it. And that’s what it’s all about. U REDS!

@FrankieMaguire Said same to my lad. So glad he could be there to experience it himself.

The noise level last night at Villa Park was insane. PSG & Bayern last season were comparable, but I've never seen such a relentless atmosphere throughout the entire game in every corner of the stadium. What an amazing experience. #avfc

@GarySmithJnr Totally. It was so OTT. Like who didn’t hear it the first 2 times and notice all the hi viz in front of you.

Was anyone else annoyed with the constant announcements about fans not entering the pitch and drowning out the celebrations? Once would have been enough, twice fine... But the amount of times they done it really was over kill.

How authentic is this ‘intimidating’ Villa Park atmosphere going to be if the come into it on the back of 3 defeats in a row? Hope this was all worth it @AVFCOfficial

@Nanakyei02 @GBUnitedx On radio 5 last night they said he has not played there since Benfica. I’ve no idea if he did or did not at Utd.

@GBUnitedx “In his first game playing there” made me realize you haven’t watched viktor lindelöf cause he played there sometimes at benefica and ETH played him in midfield sometimes for Manchester United

It’s not a must for you to agree with me, but if you watched Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest, you would agree that Victor Lindelöf was everywhere on the pitch. The guy played very well in midfield in his first game playing there. He is known as a defender and sometimes as a right-back, but Unai Emery decided to use him in midfield after Onana got injured. Honestly, he performed brilliantly. He was defending, recovering the ball, joining attacks, breaking play, and making tackles. Meanwhile, Elliot Anderson — the player Manchester United want to sign — was struggling badly. What made it even more special was that when Lindelöf got substituted, the Aston Villa fans gave him a standing ovation. Anderson was almost nowhere, and in the end the team lost 4-0. This is why, when thinking about players to sign, we must think carefully. Victor proved that what we really need is another strong midfielder — not just any player because of hype. Do you agree with me? 👀🔥

Villa you were incredible, from the Bull Ring to the Holte End. In-person, unbelievably welcoming, a class bunch! Forest were beaten by a better team 👏 True football fans and genuine human beings see that! Social media often brings out the worst in society but walking around Birmingham in a Red shirt yesterday, I received nothing but love ❤️ Reds, ignore the meltdown! The key is winning with class, and losing with dignity! If some do it another way, let them 🤷🏻‍♂️ #AVFC #NFFC
