DRC-Emery through to a European final. Hopefully, it's an omen.

It won’t be easy because Arsenal will try and strangle the game , stop any free flowing football and play for corners and free kicks.

One off game anything can happen - better team on paper can lose. I'd argue objectively English team who won against better or favoured teams Forest 1980, Villa 1982, Liverpool 84 (due to location), ManU 1999 (no Keane and Scholes), Liverpool (2005), Chelsea (2012).

 However most were penalties or marginal and the Goalies were MOTM other than 2005. I suppose Raya is good.

Not of this passing it out from the back rubbish or endless passing along the back 4, refreshing to see.

Fear not, Vitinha's on his way to Villa Park once we've made Champions League.

Speaking of him, something was bothering me about him for ages and I only just figured out what it is - he's the spitting image of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

Ha! I thought you'd be saving the Schneider Weisse for tomorrow night. And for the record, it's well known King Ludwig II of Bavaria copied King Vitinha.

We can only hope it is a repeat result for PSG as last year when they were going up against a strong defensive unit.

I'm reading each club are only getting 17k tickets for the final at the Puskas Arena, which has a capacity of 67k, so where do the other 33k tickets go to?

The Football Family (and me, if I win the UEFA competition I entered).

A mate of mine went last year because his sister-in-law works for UEFA.

They go to that sort of person.

Ok, the stadium for the Europa League Final has a capacity of 42k, so on that basis if we reach the final we are likely to only be getting around 10k tickets.

Yep hugely unfair but sadly has been the situation for all finals for a long time.

Very Chelsea vs Bayern Munich shitfest to victory vibes for me. Either one-nil from a set piece or on penalties. Though not as certain as I would have been if Arsenal were actually playing Bayern Munich.

The infrequency that teams win consecutive Champions Leagues is where my historical concerns currently lie.
