Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has conceded that his Premier League title "dreams" are over for the current season. The Spanish tactician, who led the team to strong performances earlier in the campaign, acknowledged that catching league leaders is no longer feasible.
The focus now shifts to European qualification, with Villa potentially targeting a top-five finish to secure Champions League football. This represents a significant adjustment from their earlier title aspirations, though maintaining European competition would still represent a successful season for the Midlands club.
