Onana's down there with Rodgers as well.
Onana couldn't play because he was injured.
I'm sure he'll be back for the final massive play he is for this team.
We'll talk about some of the Villa heroes, Emi Buendia and John McGinn as well.
And Ian, why don't we start with John McGinn?
Two goals for him, four...
Mr Aston Villa really John McGinn yeah he's just going across to get a big hug from Alan McAnally one of the Villa ambassadors be in front of the north stand away towards our left but it was his two goals in
the space of three minutes that really sealed it because up until that point Villa leading 2-0 on the night only the one goal separating the two sides on aggregate there's always that chance of you know who's to say that Forrest could have had an opportunity but he took his two goals ever so well both first-time finishes the first was into the far corner bottom left corner as he hit it and then later on he beat Ortega inside his near post
He's just a man for the big occasion, John McGinn, and once you knew that third goal had gone in, you knew then that there was no way back for Nottingham Forest, not the stuffing out of them, and then that meant that they could enjoy the last ten minutes or so, soak up the celebrations and start wondering about the flight tickets to Istanbul.
Dion, you were saying during commentary that you looked behind us and you saw your former teammate Ian Taylor, who was such a massive part of the Aston Villa team, who won the League Cup in 96, their last major trophy, and he was in tears.
You need these people.
He was Mr Villa of that team.
John McGinn just shows you can be an adopted Mr Villa.
Doesn't matter, you don't have to come from Birmingham.
He's come from Scotland and made this club his own.
No, he has, he has, and these fans know that as well, he wears the armband with pride, he leads this team with pride.
This is a massive football club, Steve, it really is, and these are the competitions and these are the finals they need to be in in order to back that up.
Oh, here it comes again, Steve, can you hear it?
It's on its way.
Listen to this noise, this is going to be special.
