Aston
Villa Win Champions League Qualification.
Aston Villa have qualified for the Champions League for
the first time after top-four rivals Tottenham Hotspur lost to Manchester City
on Tuesday.
Tottenham had been the only team who could have overtaken
Villa into fourth before Tuesday, but are now five points behind Unai Emery’s
side with one game remaining.
Villa have not reached Unia’s premier club competition
since it rebranded from the European Cup to the Champions League in 1991-92.
They last played in the European Cup 41 years ago in
1982-83 having won the competition the season before.
Villa did finish second and fourth in the Premier League
in 1992-93 and 1995-96 respectively, but in both those seasons only first was
good enough to reach the Champions League.
