Aston Villa take a two-goal lead into tonight’s Champions League last-16 second leg against Club Brugge as Unai Emery’s side look to finish the job and set up a quarter-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
Villa rode their luck at times in last week’s first leg in Belgium, only to come away with an impressive 3-1 win after an astonishing goal-line clearance from Tyrone Mings and a late Marco Asensio penalty.
Reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League would be a remarkable achievement for Villa, who were still playing in the Championship six years ago, and a clash with PSG, who defeated Liverpool in the last-16, would set up a special end to the season.
But Emery’s side were given a warning by Club Brugge last week and were arguably second-best on the night. It gives the hosts a huge advantage as they return to Villa Park. Follow updates from Aston Villa vs Club Brugge in our live blog below:
