Unai’s English has improved a lot. SJM and Emi spoke very well too. Nothing was fudged or taken for granted.

Wow. Three key things I took from that:
The degree of focus on this match and it's part in the longer story.
The respect Unai has instilled in the squad for each other, the club, it's support and tomorrow's opponents.
The collective, serious will to achieve this together.

We are so fortunate to support Villa at this time.
P.S. There's a fourth - Unai is absolutely clear that his personal history in the competition with other clubs is completely separate from this part of the journey.

Villa and Freiburg fans sinking beers together before the final. Football without the nonsense. Proper scenes.
