It was a night that Aston Villa fans will never forget. A first trophy in 30 years, and their 1982 European conquerors have some competition.
Youri Tielemans, Emiliano Buendia and Morgan Rogers were the goalscoring heroes in Istanbul, as Villa beat Freiburg 3-0 in comfortable fashion.
But perhaps the most heroic action of the night came from goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez - who broke his finger during the warm-ups - but still carried on to play the game, and keep a clean sheet.
"Today I broke my finger during warm-ups, but I didn't see it as a bad thing," said Martinez after the game.
"I've never broken a finger before and every time I tried to catch the ball, the finger would just slip away in the other direction.
"But, these are just things you have to go through."
Martinez was forced into two saves with his broken finger, though Freiburg only mustered an overall Expected Goals tally of 0.24. So while the Argentine was heroic in playing on while injured, he was hardly tested.
The Villa goalkeeper has, however, continued his perfect record in finals - winning all seven of the showpiece matches he has played in during the last six years for club and country.
That run comes across three different teams - Arsenal, Argentina and now Villa.
Cash: We were having beers with Prince William
Matty Cash has revealed the Villa squad were having beers with Prince William after their Europa League triumph in Istanbul.
The future King of England, an avid Villa supporter, was in attendance in Istanbul for the final - and was seen avidly celebrating the goals and the result.
"He was in there having a beer with us," said Cash. "He's just delighted. To be fair, he's such a big supporter.
"He's always coming to the training ground, always at Villa Park. And he deserves moments like these and hopefully he can let his hair down today."
McGinn: We're going for the Champions League next season
Meanwhile, Villa captain John McGinn has said Villa are targeting a Champions League triumph next season.
In head coach Unai Emery, Villa do have an expert in winning European silverware. Emery has won his fifth Europa League trophy - only Carlo Ancelotti, Jose Mourinho and Giovanni Trapattoni have each won five European competitions.
"We've been through a lot as a club," McGinn said. "We've been through a lot of pain and tonight, they [the fans] deserve it. We deserve it.
"The club's building. We're still going. We're not stopping now."
On Emery, McGinn said: "He's a genius, with what he's done for this club. For me personally, he's been absolutely first class.
"We've given him a fifth European trophy. Hopefully next year, we'll go for the Champions League. We'll see."
The desire to not stop was echoed by Emery. "My dream when I started was to play in Europe and play for trophies - this is the first one. We played in two semi-finals and were close," he said.
"Those experiences are very important to get better. The club have been missing European cups, a trophy.
"So achieving this makes us so happy, but we're not going to stop."
