Lehmann was in the stands once more for the Villans’ latest continental outing, which saw them lock horns with Greek giants Olympiacos in the first leg of a semi-final showdown. Things did not play out as planned for Unai Emery’s side.

Villa slipped to a 4-2 defeat on home soil, leaving them with a mountain to climb. They did battle back from two goals down to draw level at one stage, but did themselves few favours when making costly errors in the closing stages.
DID YOU KNOW?
Luiz was responsible for a couple of those mistakes, as he conceded a 56th-minute penalty for handball. The Brazilian midfielder went on to fail from the spot himself, as he blasted wide of the post in the 84th minute. Despite those struggles, Lehmann has made a point of expressing her love for the South American.
WHAT NEXT FOR VILLA?
Villa will feel that they offered enough against Olympiacos to give them hope heading into the second leg next Thursday – with a place in the final still up for grabs. Prior to that trip to Greece, Luiz and Co will face Brighton on Sunday – while Lehmann will also be taking on the Seagulls as Villa’s women’s team head to the south coast on Saturday.
