Aston Villa were hoping to reach their first European final since Tony Barton's team won the European Cup in 1982.
Instead, their Europa Conference League run came to a miserable end at the semi-final stage with a 6-2 aggregate defeat at the hands of Olympiakos.
The Premier League outfit started on the front foot but were caught out on the counter-attack as the hosts went into a three-goal lead in the tie with their first attack of the night.
Unai Emery's side dominated possession for the rest of the match but lacked composure in the final third.
