I don’t treat this as what could have been. It was a fantastic cup run I haven’t seen in my lifetime with Villa.

I play that Asensio chance back in my head at least once a week.
Incredible game and one of our best ever 45 minute performances as a club.

This is my favorite villa match I have watched. We were so damn close to getting that equalizer and forcing extra time.

What a game that was. Properly electric at VP

I still think about this game from now and then. We shouldn’t have taken of Marcus Rashford and Mcginn. After they went off the chances dried up and we lost that go forward.

It was the first leg that killed us , not the second leg . We didn’t hold on for their injury time goal.
Couldn’t be more proud for the VP victory though 💜💙💜💙

I never hear of this win within media it’s always the Liverpool games or Newcastle from last year against PSG . It’s as though they have conveniently forgot

I was watching Liverpool psg last night and in of you compare the VP crowd in that second half to the Liverpool crowd when Liverpool were on top, it was night and day
Maybe its because for 45 mins we all believed amd they didnt.
I still think that that psg team are the best footballing team weve played for a long long time. Weve been smashed by klopps Liverpool and peps city obviously, but psg play football like nothing ive ever seen before.
Them and the ancelotti chelsea, with the diamond and anelka/drogba/cole/malouda is the most scared ive been with playing someone

One of the greatest Villa games I’ve witnessed. The second half was wave after wave of attacks battering the eventual CL winners. Sloppiness in the first leg and the first half of this match cost us dearly but fuck me we nearly made up for it and then some.

Best night I’ve ever had at VP

Always worth remembering, as an icing on the cake, Luis Enrique’s words to the media in the aftermath of that game:
*”We conceded two goals in three minutes and after that it was very hard – lots of suffering […] I don’t think that we have ever been dominated so much. The opponent was intense because they had to equalise”*
Will never forget the feeling of leaving Villa Park that night and walking down to Aston Station to get the train home. Thousands of us smiling, chatting positively – we’d been knocked out of the CL but we’d given it a far better fight that any of us could have dreamed as we walked into the stadium a few hours earlier. Atmosphere was electric.
Will probably always go down as one of my favourite nights as a Villa fan.
