🚨 Yan Diomandé’s heartbreaking tribute to his little sister Roxane, who passed away at the age of 15. 🇨🇮

“You remember when someone bought me a fake United shirt and I wrote Ronaldo 7 on the back with a black marker?

You remember when we used to sit together and dream about going to live in France?

That we would go shopping, have our own apartment, that I would become a rich footballer with cars and a big house, and that you would never have to worry about anything.

You were the one who always believed I would be the next Cristiano, when everyone else laughed.

I had trials at Bournemouth, Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiakos, Crystal Palace... Even MLS reserve teams didn’t want me.

I didn’t even know why. My visa expired. My dream ended. They sent me back to Africa and we cried together.

You were the only one who never stopped believing. A few weeks later, I signed for Leganés and we cried different tears.

Today, I feel nothing. It’s like I’m not even human anymore. Since you died, I’m just empty.

I broke down, and they didn’t even try to soften the blow. No emotion. Just: ‘Your sister is gone.’ Someone put something in her drink at a party and she never woke up. She was gone. You were 15. 15 years old.

Tomorrow, we leave for the World Cup. For real. Your brother is going to play for Ivory Coast, like Drogba, like Yaya, like Gervinho.

Every time I score a goal, I will make sure the whole world knows your name. I will fulfil what you predicted, I swear. I will prove you right or die trying.”

Strength and courage to him. 😢❤️

One more to go...

What a journey it's been so far 💜

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

I know Villa listen to supporters generally after a few years of a strained relationship as the club grows and evolves into a fit for purpose 21st century club.

So I'd hope that the club would consider opening Villa Park, big screen, music and celebrate the club on the day of the Final.

Get a couple of local bands, a rousing MC, charge £10 with a free drink or two, and make Villans who can't go to Istanbul feel involved. It's their day too.

Aged 11 i wouldn't have been able to afford to go to Rotterdam but I could have gone to VP and been very excited indeed.

Lots of families who already go to games and are financially stretched deserve to feel the magic, and those kids are the future of our club. Some fireworks, music, pop and crisps for a quid, a beer for the same and all of a sudden we make the most important people at our club who can't go to Istanbul, feel a part of the pride.

Hope @AVFCOfficial gives it a little thought, I'm seeing a huge appetite for it on here.

[Ezri Konsa @EzriKonsa]

Believe, Villans.

Before the Final, I wanted to take in the moment to share a few words with you all 💜

A very good morning to you, Villans 🤩

One club. One goal. Let’s win this. UTV! @DV1874

Villans

Only one Villa team have broken the glass ceiling in our European history, we know their names, immortal in the history of our great club.

Many of us have tried and failed to to bring a magical European trophy back to Villa Park.

I remember that night against Atletico Madrid, glorious failure on the night. I've never heard Villa Park so loud. The Holte lead the way, and young Villans in K3, K4, K5, you have the chance to do something special and louder. You can and you must.

Make this grand old stadium stand for 90 minutes and never relent for one damn second.

But the Holte End is one fourth of the jigsaw.

Trinity. We need you.

North. We need you.

Witton (sorry Doug). We need you.

Bayern Munich. Beaten.
PSG. Beaten.
Atletico Madrid. Beaten.
Anderlecht. Beaten.
Athletic Bilbao. Beaten.
Barcelona. Beaten.
Inter Milan. Beaten.
Ajax. Beaten.
Celtic. Beaten.

A handful of clubs have those scalps.

The special sauce in every win? You, Villans. YOU.

Every one of those wins, the noise rivaled anywhere at any time.

We face admirable foe and a special football club that I know very well. A club who believed in miracles and miracles came true for them.

Our players need our voices, our songs, our heart and soul on Thursday. Every stand. Every Villan, old or young.

Remember when you walked into Villa Park for the first time? The joy, the tears, the pride, holding the hand of your Mom or Dad or excitedly shephereded in by your big brother or sister or best mate?

Let the memory of them be your guide tomorrow night.

Sing for Spinksy, Birchy, Alan McInally, for Gary Shaw, for Brian Little, for Paul McGrath and for John McGinn.

To the players and staff, we know how good you are, and we ALL want you to walk into the pantheon of greats that adorn our halls.

As someone once said..

"The lows just make the highs higher. We are at the heart of English football, we have a majestic name, a decorated past, we serve as a shining light among our peers, we are Aston Villa ".

I believe.
We believe.
Villa believes.

UP THE FUCKING EUROPEAN VILLA!!!!
