Aston Villa Secures Champions League Quarters, Faces PSG Next

Aston Villa secured a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-0 victory over Club Brugge, resulting in a 6-1 aggregate win. The match saw Brugge reduced to ten men early on after a red card, allowing Villa to dominate the second half, with Marco Asensio scoring twice. Asensio, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, is set to face his parent club in the next round after PSG eliminated Liverpool in a tense penalty shootout. The upcoming match holds significance for Asensio, who aims to prove himself against PSG after a lackluster tenure there. Villa is reportedly keen on signing Asensio permanently, with ongoing discussions about a potential deal as he has revitalized his form at Villa Park. The clash between Villa and PSG will also be a reunion for manager Unai Emery, who previously coached PSG, adding to the intrigue of the matchup.
