Cech admits it was a great atmosphere created for Petrov at Villa Park and hopes that the Bulgarian can make a quick recovery.
"Petrov is one of the most popular Villa players so they had enormous motivation to win it for him.
"What happened to him is a huge tragedy and we all wish him a successful fight in the most difficult match of his career.""Obviously you could sense it in the atmosphere at the stadium," he told the club's official website.
