An Aston Villa-Fribourg final

Aston Villa will face Freiburg in the final of the Europa League, the second of the European Cups.

PSG-Arsenal in the Champions League, Crystal Palace-Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League and… Aston Villa-Fribourg in the Europa League, this will be the poster for the second European Cup on May 20 in Istanbul.

The Villans won their place for this poster at the expense of Nottingham (4-0), with goals from Watkins, Buendia and McGinn, twice, a week after being defeated by Forest in the first leg (1-0).

The Birmingham club, winner of the C1 in 1982, will face Friborg for the title, losing to Braga despite a setback in Portugal during the first act (2-1). In numerical superiority from 6e minute, the Germans made the difference this evening with a score of 3-1 to reach their very first continental final.
