Jun 21, 2019 at 0:18 comment added Mikhail Borovoi Let $c\in Z^1(k,G_0^{\rm ad})$ be a representative of $\xi$. Then it is not hard to twist $G_0$ using $c$, and you obtain the desired group $_c G_0$ of type $^3\mathrm{E}_6$ or $^2\mathrm{E}_7$, respectively, and its faithful $k$-irreducible representation $V$ over $k$ with centralizer $D$ in ${\rm End}_k(V)$.
Jun 21, 2019 at 0:09 comment added Mikhail Borovoi Let $G_0$ be the corresponding simply connected split group, and $G_0^{\rm ad}$ be the adjoint group. Let $\eta(D)\in H^2(k,\mu_d)$ denote the class of $D$ (where $\mu_d=Z(G_0)$ and $d$ is 3 or 2, respectively). Then one should somehow use a construction of Martin Kneser (see also the book by Platonov and Rapinchuk) in order to lift $\eta$ to a cohomology class $\xi\in H^1(k,G_0^{\rm ad})$. Here one should use the assumption that $k$ is a local field.
