LILLE 2
ASTON VILLA 1
AET: Agg 3-3 – Villa win 4-3 on penalties
The Argentine No.1, who established himself as the go-to guy during his country’s World Cup win 16 months ago, dipped into his book of the dark arts again to ensure Aston Villa emerged triumphant.
He saved two spot-kicks to send Unai Emery’s side through – but that told only half the story of a sizzling shoot-out.
This tie had seesawed from one side to the other during a fascinating two-hour battle of wits but it was only when penalties began that the drama was ramped up a notch.
The details of the match are almost incidental.
