#AVFC to extend Unai Emery's contract beyond 2029. Led by Nassef Sawiris, the plan is to also renew the contracts of Emery's key football executives, Roberto Olabe and Damian Vidagany. Villa had informed Emery of their intentions to renew his contract some time ago, with the 55yo happy at the club. Story @TheAthleticFC

A tribute to the Basque people and a symbol of their pride and courage.

40 - Aston Villa's fifth goal vs. Fenerbahçe came at the end of a 40-pass move, where all 11 players were involved.
It's the longest passing sequence leading to a goal in major European competition this season, as well as the only one to involve all 11 players.
Style.

Unai Emery’s grandad played in goal for Real Union de Irun. His dad played in goal for Real Union. His son plays in goal for Real Union. He bought Real Union to save a historic club, four-times cup winners. A family responsibility, he calls it. espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/5…
