The head coach of Birmingham's Aston Villa club, Unai Emery, commented on consistency and the desire to win this tournament before the Europa League match against LOSC Lille:

"We won the first match, which is very important. I know that it's still not enough.

This time there will be a very important battle in this tournament."

"We need to strive for consistency... We will play the second leg in the round of 16.

Just 3.5 years ago, this would have been a dream for us.

We want to be that team that has something to demonstrate and stand out.

We know we have expectations, as we are one of the tournament favorites and we understand that."

In the first match, Aston Villa won away with a score of 1:0.

The second leg will take place at 10 PM in Birmingham.
