5th story down even on the football only content page, behind a couple of articles each on West Ham and Liverpool. Incredible. You'd think they'd want to embrace the one positive English outcome amongst all the other disappointments.

Probably been posted in dribs and drabs over the last six hours but just to put it all down in a simple statement: For the 5th place to go to England in the coefficient 1.Villa need to win all three games in the UECL (not just progress) 2.Germany need to get less than a win and a draw across six semi-final matches for their teams

Telegraphed his penalty, but was a catalyst for our comeback. 

The handbags between Unai and Fonseca were another batshit moment in this game. I have no idea why the ref needed to insert himself into that.

The spectacle of it all. European madness, I love it. Tough luck for Lille, who were the better team across the 2 legs, but Villa didn't quit and when it went to penalties the match was won, because we have the world's supreme goalkeeper and its a joy to behold. Bonkers game. Many talking points to keep us occupied until Sunday.  No rest for the weary-- Up the Villa

On a completely unrelated note name a team with a notorious record for breaking the duck of strikers/team etc on terrible runs?

Might be one is the Greek spelling, like we say 'Brazil' but in Portuguese it's 'Brasil'
