He Olympiacos by José Luis Mendilibar has put their place on track for the final of the Conference League with a hard-fought 2-4 victory at Villa’s Park, the stadium of the Aston Villa’s Unai Emery. A stadium where teams like Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea did not win in the League this season. Both teams faced each other bare chested in a duel that was determined by El Kaabi with his hat trick.
A duel with a Sevilla flavor, since in addition to the two former Sevilla FC coaches, they were also on the pitch both Lenglet as Iborra. In addition to being Monchi the current sports director of the villains. Both coaches have shown this Thursday that they are going for this semifinal of the Conference League, since they both know what it is to touch European silver and want to repeat. In the case of Mendilibar, it would be his second European final in a year, while Emery already has four Europa League titles (three with Sevilla and one with Villarreal).
Although the tie is on track for the Greek team, not everything has been said yet. The difference is two goals and, seeing how the first leg has developed, it is not surprising that the tie will be exciting until the last minute next week in Piraeus.
