Villa Park is always special under the lights, but last night it was on another level entirely.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg and suffering poor form in the Premier League, Unai Emery’s side needed to put in a big shift, and the players were happy to oblige.
Forest’s narrow lead felt incredibly fragile from the first whistle, paving the way for a bandage-clad Ollie Watkins to open the scoring after a superb assist from Emi Buendía in the 36th minute.
After the break, the one-way traffic continued, with Buendía stepping up to convert a penalty after Pau Torres was fouled in the box.
Villa captain John McGinn then put an emphatic stamp on the tie, netting a quick-fire brace to send his team to the final with a 4-0 victory on the night.
Aston Villa will now face Bundesliga side SC Freiburg in the final, after the German team beat Braga with an aggregate score of 4-3.
When and where is the Europa League Final 2026?
The Europa League Final will take on 20 May, at Istanbul’s Beşiktaş Park.
The park itself has a capacity of around 42,445, with both Aston Villa and SC Freiburg getting an allocation of 10,758 tickets.
As with most European finals, the remainder of the tickets will be held back by UEFA, local organizing committees, UEFA officials, national associations, commercial sponsors, and international broadcasters, and neutral fans.
How to buy tickets for the Europa League Final

Currently, both Ticombo and Hellotickets are both showing tickets for the final, with prices as high as expected.
At time of writing, the cheapest tickets are available for £843 via Ticombo.
