Aston Villa won 3-1 in the first round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 at 2:45 (Korea time) on the 5th against Club Brugge in the 2024-2025 season at Jan Breidel Stadion in Brugge, Belgium. The victory gave Villa an advantage in advancing to the UCL quarterfinals.
Villa took the lead in the third minute of the first half when Leon Bailey scored the first goal from a free kick. Despite the away goal, the game was back to square one when Brugge equalized nine minutes later. Brugge tormented Villa one after another with a sharp counterattack in a one-on-one situation. If it wasn't for the defense and the goalkeeper's instructions, it seemed that they would have allowed a turnaround.

In the 37th minute of the second half, Villa took a lucky lead by inducing his opponent's own goal. The player who finished the game was Asensio. Matt Cash's determination scored a penalty in the 41st minute of the second half. Asensio stepped up as a kicker, finishing calmly to give Villa a first-round win.
Asensio is on the way to being the best signing in the transfer window this winter. Asensio, who decided to leave for Villa on loan after he did not have time to play at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is proving his skills properly by scoring five goals in the last four games.

In this atmosphere, there seems to be a possibility that Villa will completely recruit Asensio. For PSG, Asensio is an out-of-power resource. Villa need players who can support scoring at the first or second line like Asensio. The player will also want to settle in the villa because he is Asensio, who would have felt he was running out of time at PSG.
Asensio was Lee Kang-in's best friend at PSG. Both players have something in common: they are former Majorca ace.
