Unai Emery deems the Europa Conference League face-off against Olympiacos as Aston Villa’s toughest trial this year.
Villa finds themselves behind 4-2 following an unexpected loss in the semi-final first leg at Villa Park last week.
Although gunning for a top-four finish in the Premier League, Emery believes that trying to reverse the deficit in Greece will be Villa’s ultimate challenge.
“This is the hurdle we must clear tomorrow, the most significant test we’ll encounter this year, competing in this semi-final,” mentioned Emery.
