Aston Villa reaches Champions League quarter-finals, defeats Brugge 6-1

Aston Villa advanced to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 1982/83, defeating Club Brugge 6-1 on aggregate after a commanding 3-0 win in the second leg at Villa Park. Marco Asensio, who scored a brace after coming off the bench, played a crucial role in the victory, furthering his impressive form with seven goals in eight matches for the club. The match was significantly impacted by Brugge's early red card for Kyriani Sabbe, which left them with ten men and made their comeback nearly impossible. Villa manager Unai Emery's ambitions of returning to European competition are now fulfilled, as they prepare to face his former team, Paris Saint-Germain, in the quarter-finals. The atmosphere at Villa Park was electric, with notable supporters like Prince William present to witness the historic win. Villa's confidence is building as they continue their pursuit of European glory.
