Aston Villa defeated Freiburg 3-0 to win the 2025/26 Europa League title at Besiktas Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey. The result ended the club’s 30-year drought without a major title; their last victory was the English League Cup in the 1995/96 season.
Tielemans, Buendía, and Rogers scored for the English side against the Germans, who reached their first European final in a season already considered historic by their fans.
With this title, Aston Villa secures its place in the next edition of the Champions League.
