Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has challenged his players to embrace the Europa Conference League opportunity.

Villa go to Legia Warsaw on Thursday for their opening group game.

"It means a lot, Europe, I want to share it with Aston Villa fans, players, coaches," Emery said.

"I want to write a new chapter.

"Sometimes there's been success, sometimes not but you are always trying to use each experience to get better. Every moment, winning or losing, is a very good experience."

Villa fullback Matty Cash also said: "We know our role and what we want to achieve.

"You are always going to get added pressure and noise outside but we want to achieve what we have set out to do.

"We have to respect there are really good clubs in this competition who are here for a reason. We want to win the group and then take it from there."
