Aston Villa Welcomes Key Players Ahead of Brugge Clash

Aston Villa is set to face Club Brugge in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, holding a 3-1 advantage from the first match. Coach Unai Emery announced the return of key players Marco Asensio, Amadou Onana, and Emiliano Martinez, who missed the recent Premier League match against Brentford. Despite the lead, Emery emphasized the need for caution, recalling past experiences where leads have evaporated quickly, and stated the importance of sticking to their game plan. Villa is aiming for their first European Cup quarter-final appearance in over 40 years and would face either Liverpool or Paris Saint-Germain if they progress. The match is crucial not only for the club's history but also for the fans and the players' professional growth. Emery has urged his team to be prepared for any scenario, including extra time or penalties.
