Aston Villa

During the group stage, the English team topped their UEFA Conference League group. They secured 13 points in six matches, edging out their closest pursuer by just one point.

The first leg in the Netherlands ended in a 0-0 draw, but Aston Villa triumphed at home with a resounding 4-0 victory.

In the quarterfinals, the English side faced Lille. Once again, the matches were highly challenging and tense, with both teams exchanging victories at their home stadiums with a score of 2-1.

Then, in the round of 16, they achieved an incredible comeback.

In the first leg against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Olympiacos lost 1-4, seemingly with little chance of advancing to the quarterfinals.
