Who will face Club Brugge in a possible final? Aston Villa seemed to be favorites beforehand, but after the first leg Olympiakos has the best cards in hand. The Greeks surprised the Premier League club with 2-4.
The dreamers among Club Brugge fans undoubtedly already see a final against Olympiakos looming.
The Greek top club recorded a strong victory against tournament favorite Aston Villa. After half an hour Olympiakos had a double bonus after two goals from El Kaabi.
Yet the English did not simply give in. In extra time of the first half, Watkins scored the tying goal, a few minutes after half-time Diaby scored the equalizer.
But anyone who thought that Aston Villa would then progress was disappointed. Immediately after the 2-2 El Kaabi again gave the visitors the lead. And ten minutes later, Hezze completely quieted the packed Villa Park with the 2-4.
The home team had the chance to halve the deficit in the final minutes, but Douglas Luiz missed a penalty.
