Hibs goalkeeper David Marshall admits Aston Villa were a class above on Wednesday night.
Villa won the first-leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier 5-0 at Easter Road.
Ollie Watkins struck a hat-trick, with Leon Bailey and Douglas Luiz (p) also on the scoresheet.
Marshall later said: "We never game the fans anything to get behind us with. They were very clinical.
"In terms of performance we know we were miles off, especially in the first half. We know they are a better team than us, but we can be better."
