Europa Conference League: Olympiakos 1-0 Aston Villa Watched Villa these last few weeks and they just look exhausted. This is a team who don't often play more than 40 games a season and this is game No 58! Still an amazing season surpassing expectations.British clubs have completely disappointed in Europe this season, as much as I wanted to see success for Villa in Europe it’s just not going to happen, at least they can focus on getting Champions League football next season.
Olympiakos captain Kostas Fortounis has a shooting chance from 25 yards and looks to curl a side-footer into the bottom corner, but Emiliano Martinez dives low and gathers.While Atalanta are so on top they needed to get a seocnd goal and make this more comfortable. Charles de Ketelaere is in the box but his effort is stopped by Pau Lopez.Such a difficult thing to do, to get the ball up and over a big wall like that in such a condensed area.
The official then brings it back to give Villa a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area and a yellow card for Rodinei.It is quite incredible, the run Bayer Leverkusen are on. This could be one of the greatest seasons of any club team ever. In the history of club football.Marseille back off the Nigeria international and let him shoot from 20 yards out. It takes a big deflection and lands in the bottom corner.
Exequiel Palacios hits a sweet effort from 20 yards out which hits the post and hits the keeper's back but stops moving before it crosses the line.A fourth yellow card from Roma. They're really going to have to watch themselves. Nicola Zalewski knows he isn't catching Jeremie Frimpong so fouls the wing-back.
It eventually falls to Ollie Watkins for his first sniff of goal, only to see his effort blocked. Villa get another chance and Douglas Luiz puts some power on it from 30 yards out, but it was too far out really and Kostas Tzolakis dives to his right to comfortably gather.All times UK.
