Lille vs Aston Villa post-match thread

[Matt C]

He owned that penalty shoot out before a ball was kicked. In their heads.

We were bad but it felt between their players and ref they were going to try and shithouse us out of it, well tough luck chaps, nobody out shithouses our boy.

Very very special night - more demons laid to rest.

42 years wait for a European SF.

I was there the previous QF played v Athletico and just missed out - great atmosphere.

So happy so so happy

[Footy-Vill]

That was too much to take in the penalty shoot out and Martinez had me through all the emotions!

So happy to make it through ! Come on Villa!

[Jane]

Just mental. Still shaking!

Did anyone notice how the ref stood over our spot kick takers and not for Lille?

[garyellis]

That's why he's the world's number 1.

We'll still get pelters for the way we played tonight.

Some of it deserved, admittedly. But we played better against Lille away than Madrid did against Citeh. For us it will be lucky, lucky Aston Villa. For the latter, it was resolute Madrid/ Madrid finding a way, as always.

You are right but fuck em
And oh get used to it

[Taylor]

Oh and for those that said it would be fucking ace for Martinez to save the decisive penalty - bravo! Hope you had a bet on it!

[Demitri_C]

Come and get your shimmy Lille!

[Astnor]

After 85 minutes I had given up. How wrong!

Yes! Luiz was clearly trying to get in the zone and the ref is talking to him.
