Yahoo Sports

[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your thoughts after Aston Villa's 3-0 victory in the Europa League final against Freiburg secured them their first major trophy in 30 years. Here are some of your comments: David : So many great stories in this team. Super John McGinn with us since the Championship, Ollie Watkins from non-league to European title, Emi Buendia out for so long and nearly sold last season but fighting for his place, Morgan Rogers rejected by Man City and lifted by Unai Emery.

And the manager – an absolute wizard. Surely he gets to keep the trophy now? Chris : Thinking of my two Grandads tonight - Holte Enders in the Sky - they would have loved tonight.

Up the Villa! Prit: What a fantastic performance by the Mighty Aston Villa. I thought for a while Villa were trying to compete in their own Europa goal of the season with two stunning stunning goals by Youri Tielemans and Emi Buendia.

Villa were in complete control and we absolutely deserve this. Thank you Aston Villa, thank you to the Villa owners and above all, thank you so much the Mighty Unai Emery. Don : Villa played with confidence from the first whistle.

Disciplined and moving the ball quickly. Stunning goals to make the performance even more memorable. [Reuters] Franny : Absolutely buzzing tonight.
