Unai Emery reveals Aston Villa Champions League ambition as he looks to help side reach quarter-finals against Club Brugge

Unai Emery will not be satisfied until Aston Villa become regular Champions League challengers as they stand on the brink of the quarter-finals.

As long as Villa avoid losing by more than one goal to Club Brugge on Wednesday, they will be guaranteed a spot in the last eight of Europe's main club competition.

When Emery took charge of Villa in autumn 2023, they risked sliding into the relegation zone. In less than two years, the Basque had led them to a top four finish, and now fans are dreaming of a repeat of 1982, when Villa lifted the European Cup.
