00:00Aston Villa's growing European maturity was on full display as they navigated one of the
00:06most volatile away atmospheres in continental football and came through with control, composure
00:11and belief. For Ole Emre, this is familiar territory. European football is his natural
00:17habitat. This season marks his 18th consecutive year on the continental stage and Villa's latest
00:23trip to Turkey brought up his 100th Europa League match. Experience like that had showed.
00:30From the moment Villa stepped into the Fenerbahce Stadium, the hostility was relentless.
00:35Whistles, screams, flags and flares, an atmosphere designed to overwhelm. But this Villa side no
00:41longer flinch. Since returning to Europe, they have learned how to manage chaos, slow games down
00:47and impose their own rhythm. What stood out most was Villa's discipline. Even when chances went
00:53begging, they were never panicked. Emre adjusted late on, tightening the shape, absorbing pressure
00:58and trusting his team's understanding of the plan. There is a stark contrast with their
01:04early European outings when hostile environments rattled them. They know when to slow a game
01:10down, when to draw opponents out and when to strike calmly. Villa sits second heading into
01:16the final Europa League match day, not by chance but by design. They are no longer tourists
01:21in Europe. They are learning how to win there. And for Unai Emre, this is exactly how European
01:27dreams are built.
