VIDEO: Dibu and Buendía triumph, Villa beat Freiburg for Europa League | OneFootball

European glory for Aston Villa. The English side defeated SC Freiburg 3-0 in the final and were crowned UEFA Europa League champions, winning one of the most important titles in their recent history and returning the club to the top of continental football.

Argentinians Emiliano Martínez and Emiliano Buendía both played a part in the title-winning squad, taking part in the historic campaign led by Unai Emery. The World Cup-winning goalkeeper was once again a key figure with his decisive saves, while Buendía brought quality and flair on the road to triumph.

The title carries enormous historical significance for the Villans, as it marks their first international trophy since winning the European Cup in 1982, when they defeated Bayern Munich in Rotterdam. Aston Villa also lifted a European trophy again after more than four decades, reaffirming the progress of the project led by Emery.

The Spanish coach, a specialist in this competition, also reached a new personal record by adding another Europa League title to his extensive list of honors, cementing his status as the most successful manager in the history of the tournament.

For Freiburg, the final was the first continental showpiece in the club’s history, although the German side could not overcome the class and experience of the English team on an unforgettable night for Birmingham.
