MEN’S FOOTBALL: Aston Villa will be making their first appearance in a major European competition semi-final since April 1982 when they face Olympiacos in Birmingham tomorrow evening.

Piraeus-based Olympiacos have never reached a European semi-final before but are currently third in the Greek Super League, three points behind leaders PAOK Thessaloniki.

Tonight’s other semi-final sees last year’s runners-up Fiorentina take on Club Bruges.
