Brilliant scenes of Aston Villa players celebrating with their friends and families, and with the fans who turned up in their thousands, as always. Means everything. Such a long wait for a European trophy, 44 years. Such a proud club, a great historic club, been building so promisingly under Euro-specialist Unai Emery. Few coaches prepare a team as well as Emery.

Villa deserved this trophy: so many good performances, Buendia, Lindelof, Rogers, Tielemans, McGinn, Watkins, all of them. Freiburg were modest opposition undoubtedly and couldn’t live with a vastly superior Villa. Nor with Austin MacPhee’s set-piece wizardry. Focus this summer for Villa is deepen the squad and attack the Champions League. Keep the momentum. Emery is building something very special at Villa. #FREAVL #AVFC

A one-sided final once the first goal hit the back of the net. Some super goals and passes by Villa, worthy winners! This is Unai’s tournament for real.
