Aston Villa's Diaby confident of Olympiacos comeback

Unai Emery has reversed Aston Villa's fortunes since his arrival at Villa Park and their incredible Premier League campaign has brought them within touching distance of qualifying for next year's Champions League. 

However, the Spanish coach's speciality is not the domestic championships, but the European championships, having lifted the Europa League three times in a row with Sevilla and once with Villarreal. 

This time Emery is trying to lead his team to win the European bronze medal, although they will have to come from behind in their semi-final tie against Olympiacos after suffering an unexpected 4-2 defeat. 

Villans star Moussa Diaby is confident of reaching the Conference League final. "We have the mentality of winners and I want to get to the final. We’ve lost, okay, we’ve got a second leg there," he said. 

"I believe in my team. We will win there, for sure. We have to go there full of energy, fight until the end. I know Villa will do this. We have to fight there and show them Aston Villa are the best."
