00:00Most teams vying for Champions League qualification are stumbling toward the finish line, exhausted after a long season.
00:09However, Aston Villa have found another gear.
00:13Liverpool are secure in a top four spot and Arsenal will be soon, leaving three spots open for five contenders.
00:20Newcastle had won six straight before their 4-1 defeat to Villa and Manchester City are unbeaten in five league games.
00:27Chelsea, with five wins in their last 11, face a tough run-in, but Villa have won 10 of their last 11 games, the only setback being a Champions League loss to PSG.
00:37They are undoubtedly the team in form.
00:40Their 4-1 victory over Newcastle was one of their best under Unai Emery, showcasing relentless intensity.
00:47Despite fatigue, Villa coming off with Champions League match and an FA Cup semi-final to come, they maintained a high level of play.
00:55Villa's tactical approach, going direct to Oli Watkins and attacking down the left to target Kieran Trippier, demonstrated Emre's strategic acumen.
01:07Villa's depth, with players like Watkins motivated to prove themselves, have given them a competitive edge.
01:15While their financial situation is precarious, Champions League qualification could provide much-needed breathing room.
01:21I am so happy and I am really confident how we are doing this way, how we are increasing our standards, our demands, and how we are achieving the objective we can have.
01:34Of course, we are finishing here in the final and hopefully we can come back again quick to play in Champions League.
01:43This is the objective, this is the next objective we will have for the next six matches we are going to play in Premier League, to get Europe and hopefully to get Champions League and to play in FA Cup as well for a trophy.
01:59Despite concerns over ticket prices and corporate reallocations, Villa's on-field success under Emre is silencing critics.
02:07Back-to-back Champions League qualifications would solidify their place among the elite.
