MOUSSA DIABY reckons one bad night won't define Aston Villa's season as he turns his sights towards his personal goal.
Villa's club record £51.7million signing was left reeling after Thursday's Europa Conference League disappointment against Olympiakos.
The France international played a starring role but could not prevent his side from slipping to a shock 4-2 defeat at Villa Park in the first leg of their semi-final.
Villa can secure Champions League football for the first time in their history today.
Three points at the Amex along with defeat for Tottenham at Anfield will confirm the club's qualification for European football's elite competition.
Diaby said: "We have a great thing to aim for - we cannot bin all our performances this season because of one bad night.
