On May 10, Beijing time, Aston Villa lost 2-0 away to Olympiacos in the second round of the UEFA semi-finals and was eliminated. After the game, Villa coach Emery gave an interview to the media.
Emery said: "At the end of last season, we won the European qualification. This year, we enjoyed the process, but it is very difficult to win the game. We are still in the process of development. They (Olympiacos) should enter the final. We lost the game at home, and we are not competitive. We started well in the first half. Although they scored, we controlled the game and we were not decisive enough. This is an experience for Aston Villa. We haven't participated in the European game for a long time, and we will participate in the European game again next year. Of course, we are also a little disappointed, a little depressed, but we must move forward quickly. At the beginning of the first round, we may be the favourites for promotion, but after the first round, we will no longer be. We must work hard to finish the rest of the season, and if they can reach the Champions League, it will be great
