[Post Match Thread] Aston Villa 3-0 Club Brugge [6-1] (UCL 1/8 Finals)
We face PSG! Club Brugge had a long road ahead of them to get make up the goal difference, and it got even harder as Sabbe was sent off super early on after fouling Rashford in a one on one. Villa didn't really take too much of an advantage of this playing it safely. Second half a different story. Asensio and Bailey came on and immediately changed the game, the intensity upped by a large margin and Asensio scored in the 50th minute after a sweet flick by Bailey allowed him to volley in. Maatsen scored minutes later converting Rogers cross. Asensio got his brace after tapping in Rashfords cross from the left.
MOTM - I'll give it to Maatsen. One of his better performances in the Villa shirt, early on when Club Brugge threatened more he was very solid defensively. Scored his first goal tonight and was involved almost all over the pitch! Asensio, massive performance. Came on, got into incredible positions and scored a brace.
We face PSG in the quarter finals! Massive game that will be.
