00:00Aston Villa are European champions again.
00:04They have won Europe's second biggest competition by defeating Freiburg in the Europa League final.
00:11Manager Unai Emery has now won the competition an astounding five times.
00:16It's the first time Aston Villa have lifted European silverware in over 40 years.
00:22Here's what striker Oli Watkins had to say after the game.
00:26Yeah, I know my friends were here, come to support me today and they're playing in, you know, reserve matches
00:34with me when I was at Exeter.
00:35And to come from that far and so many highs and lows, you know, for this season personally, I started
00:43the season off poorly and, you know, to see where I finished it and to see what we've done together
00:48as a club and pull through and win, you know, Europa League final is amazing.
00:55I've not had the best of luck in finals and, you know, that was on my mind going into this.
01:00I didn't want it to be another loss.
01:03So, yeah, incredible, incredible.
01:05Yeah, I think and this this trophy here today is, you know, a collective effort of hard work and years
01:11we've put in, you know, since he came in, obviously getting into Europe at the end of the season.
01:15We got to the Conference League, the Champions League, so this is not just a year's worth of work.
01:20It's been a few years and that's why I think it makes it a lot sweeter because we've put in
01:25so much hard work.
