Aston Villa Reach Europa Conference League Semi-Finals

Dramatic Penalty Shootout Sees Villa Through

Aston Villa have advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Lille.

The match finished 1-1 after extra time, with Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez saving two penalties in the shootout to secure the win.

Villa last reached a European semi-final in 1982, when they lost to Bayern Munich in the European Cup.

The win is a major achievement for Villa, who are now just two games away from winning their first European trophy.

Villa were the better team throughout the match and deserved to win.

They created more chances than Lille and were unlucky not to win in regulation time.

Martinez was the hero of the shootout, saving two penalties to send Villa through.

Villa will now face either Roma or Feyenoord in the semi-finals.

The draw for the semi-finals will be held on Friday, April 15.

The first leg of the semi-finals will be played on April 28, with the second leg on May 5.

Villa fans are excited for the semi-final.

They believe that the team has a good chance of winning the Europa Conference League.

Tickets for the semi-final will go on sale on Monday, April 18.
