All good things come to an end, and Forest's depleted squad were no match for an excellent Aston Villa team who really worked hard to overcome the first leg result. Apart from a 10-15 min spell in the first half, the Reds were second best, and we wish Villa well in the final.

George and Tom report the morning after, discussing the lack of fit players, whether Vítor could have done better with his team selection and subs, and some reflections on the European away days. Neil also joins us from [For The Love Of Paul McGrath](https://www.youtube.com/@ForTheLoveofPaulMcGrathPodcast?ref=eighteensixtyfive.football) with his magnanimous reflections on the semi-final.
