Ed Aarons was at Wembley. His report is in, and here it is! Congratulations to Crystal Palace, commiserations to Aston Villa, and thank you for reading this MBM.
An extremely gracious Unai Emery talks to the BBC. “They deserved to win … they played better than us … we tried to compete, dominate and impose … but when they scored the first goal it caused difficulties for us … we only reacted when it was 2-0 … we dominated better and created chances but didn’t score a goal … in transition they are a very good team … they scored a third goal and they deserved to win … in 90 minutes we had our moments … but I accept it … we were very motivated for this semi-final but we lost and we will keep going … two years ago when I arrived here we were in a bad moment … how we are increasing our level is going so, so quick … semi-final of Conference League … quarter-final of Champions League … semi-final of FA Cup … everything we are doing is increasing our demands … loss is something you have to accept … of course we are sorry for our supporters … thank you to our supporters for how they support us … congratulations to Crystal Palace … we keep going.”
