Villa face Sporting Lisbon (AGAIN!) in NextGen Semi Final

Aston Villa's Young Lions will face Sporting Lisbon in the Next Gen semi finals

The Draw:

Villa earned the right to travel to Italy in a hard fought victory against a lively Olympiacos. Graham Burke's early goal settled it on a chilly night at Villa Park.  Supporters - including a loud and noisy clump of Greek fans - were seated in the North Stand, creating a boisterous atmosphere on a chilly night .

Chelsea qualified for the semi-finals with a crushing 4-1 win over Juventus while Sporting Lisbon cruised through in goal filled encounter with Spurs at Leyton Orient.

Sporting's youngsters were hugely impressive against the Villa in the group match at Villa Park, while Villa needed to reverse the result out in Portugal to progress.

The final quarter final takes place at the Emirates on Monday evening as Arsenal take on CSKA for the last place at Lake Como.

Both semi finals take place on Good Friday at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Lake Como, Italy while the final will be on Easter Monday.
