Aston Villa are tasked with completing arguably the greatest comeback in the short history of the Europa Conference League when they travel to Olympiacos tonight.
The port city of Piraeus, on the outskirts of Athens, will be an intimidating scene for Unai Emery’s men with their Greek opponents buoyed by a two-goal lead in the semi-final tie.
Ayoub El Kaabi shocked Villa Park with a hat-trick in last week’s first leg, which saw Olympiacos take a 4-2 aggregate lead home with them on a night of penalty controversy and missed chances for the Premier League team.
Still, all is not lost and Villa will throw all of their considerable might at overturning the deficit.
Last night’s semi-final means both teams already know that it would be Fiorentina meeting them in the final on May 29 in Athens, a location that would be extra special for Olympiacos were they to qualify.
