It’s fair to say, Aston Villa had a nightmare last week.
Going into the first leg, the Villans were the favourites to win the competition, but things quickly changed as soon as play got underway.
Villa did not perform to the standard we have come accustomed to with them, while Olympiacos were ruthless. A hat-trick from Ayoub El Kaabi and Santiago Hezze’s deflected strike stunned Villa Park.
Villa did get level at one point through Ollie Watkins and Moussa Diaby, but they couldn’t keep the clinical Greek side out.
Their night got even worse when Douglas Luiz missed from the spot to make it 4-3. It was not his finest evening in Villa colours.
Remember, it is only halfway, but it will take a monumental display from the English side to turn things around this evening.
Villa may be down but are not out… yet.
