"Tonight is an occasion we must enjoy together at our home, as a team with our supporters. A first home match in Europe for 13 years and it is something we have earned with hard work, dedication and togetherness. Let us enjoy it. "Last week we got our reward by paying a lot of respect to Hibernian. Going away to Scotland was never going to be easy but we stayed humble and respectful and we gave the performance to our supporters that they would have been pleased with. "Nights like these are what we have worked so hard for over the past few months. We need your support to reach the group stages so please, make Villa Park a difficult place to come and we can hopefully achieve something special together." Unai Emery, pre-match. "I’m very, very happy because we are finishing last season by qualifying for the group stage. "For me, it’s very important to be in Europe; I think for the club as well and the supporters. "We can enjoy and be excited about a new way in Europe since 2008-09 when Aston Villa last played in the group stage in Europe. "We won the tie in Scotland, but the supporters were with us today and the stadium was full. We really enjoyed it. "For us, it’s about trying to keep the same atmosphere we created last season in the Premier League. "Today, everything was thinking about finishing last season because we hadn’t qualified for Europe directly. "We needed to finish like we did today. The performance was good. We wanted to qualify being consistent, building our idea and our style to control the game. “We got a clean sheet and the result was very good. Now we are going to think about Liverpool on Sunday." Unai Emery, post-match.
