Unai Emery has already achieved a great deal at Aston Villa. But if he wants to take the next step and join the pantheon of all-time great Villa bosses, he needs to win a trophy. Wednesday provides the perfect opportunity to do so.

Villa have not won silverware for 30 years. There have been some painful moments since then, namely four defeats split evenly between the FA Cup and EFL Cup finals. But Emery has made the fans dream again, and Villa are potentially 90 minutes away from their first taste of European glory since they were crowned kings of the continent in 1982.

Freiburg stand in their way. The Bundesliga outfit should not be underestimated. They have a proven track record of punching above their weight. Julian Schuster's side are underdogs, but that is exactly how they like it.

Yet Villa will fancy their chances given the quality at their disposal. In Emery, they have a manager who has been there and done it in the Europa League, winning the tournament four times before. That is a major asset, and one which could make this Villa's greatest moment of the 21st century.
