Aston Villa players got "caught up in the occasion" in their first leg semi-final defeat by Olympiakos, according to their former midfielder Ian Taylor.Unai Emery's side lost 4-2 at home to the fourth-place Greek Super League team on a difficult night that also included a late missed penalty for Villa's Douglas Luiz.

American soccer fans can stream this fixture via Paramount Plus, which has exclusive live English-language broadcast rights in the US for the Europa Conference League. Paramount Plus has two main subscription plans in the US: Essential for $6 per month and Premium for $12 per month. Both offer coverage of the Europa Conference League.

Even as other English teams beat an inglorious retreat from Europe, there was long an expectation that Aston Villa could claim the Conference League, as though the competition may develop into a Premier League fiefdom.
