Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa
Boubacar Kamara drives forward and has a sight of goal so decides to take the shot on. He pulls it wide and Jhon Duran isn't best pleased, he wanted the ball to come to him.
Less than four minutes of normal time remain.

Good ball from the middle of the park for Bjorn Meijer but Emi Martinez flies out of his goal and prevents the shot coming in.

Villa need to find some intensity or this season will fizzle out. We are trying to coast through games and simply don’t run or press enough.
Si, Aston Villa fan

They've had one shot in this half. It wasn't on target.

Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
Nothing is going right for Aston Villa here. Their set-pieces have been poor tonight too.

Hugo Vetlesen has only just come onto the pitch but he's straight into the referee's book for a foul in the middle of the park.

Club Brugge deserve the lead, they have been slicker, better and hungrier than Aston Villa.
It is still all so slow from Aston Villa and we're getting to the stage that there needs to be a bit of desperation in the play.
Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa
Ohh Club Brugges have a brilliant chance to double their lead.
It's shifted across from the right-hand side and Bjorn Meijer tries to tap it into the bottom corner but it's just wide.

Jon: Thought Villa would step up a gear with all the players returning from injury, but it seems to have led to them taking a step backwards. They've been very disappointing recently.

More substitutions. Off go Christos Tzolis and Casper Nielsen. On come Bjorn Meijer and Hugo Vetlesen.

Club Brugge bring on 19-year-old winger Chemsdine Talbi for Andreas Skov Olsen.

Good work from Ferran Jutgla down the left-hand side, he cuts it back for Andreas Skov Olsen, who is advancing on the penalty area but his powerful strike flies over the bar.

Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
Villa have been poor, but you look at the quality they have been able to bring off the bench and think they are still capable of nicking an equaliser, maybe by creating something out of nothing.
Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa
It's still pretty slow this. Aston Villa have not managed to create a chance since the goal and all the substitutions.

Tyrone Mings might have done it when he was three.
Mings has had a minging evening.

Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
We are still waiting for Villa to get going here. They only had one shot on target against Spurs on Sunday - their goal from a corner in their 4-1 defeat - and they have had the same number here so far.
Brugge deserve some credit for that - they are very good at getting men back behind the ball when they lose possession.
Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa
There's 25 minutes on the clock for Aston Villa to turn this around. They're going to bring on Pau Torres and Jacob Ramsey for Morgan Rogers and, you guessed it, Tyrone Mings.

UEFA Champions League
All competitions
Club Brugge have never previously faced Aston Villa in any competition. They are winless in 14 European games (inc. qualifiers) against English clubs, drawing three and losing 11 since a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1995.
Aston Villa’s last meeting with a Belgian opponent was in 1981-82 European Cup semi-final against RSC Anderlecht, winning 1-0 at home and drawing 0-0 away on their way to lifting the trophy that year.
Club Brugge have lost their last three home UEFA Champions League matches, failing to score in each game while conceding nine goals. They have only lost four in a row once, between 2016 and 2018.
Aston Villa have won their first three UEFA Champions League matches without conceding a goal. Only three teams have won their first four games: Milan in 1993, Paris SG in 1994 and Juventus in 1995, none of whom did so with a clean sheet in each game.
Across Club Brugge’s last 15 UEFA Champions League matches, they have either conceded 2+ goals (nine games, 35 conceded) or kept a clean sheet (six games). Since the start of 2022-23, only Internazionale (63%) have a higher clean sheet rate than Brugge (6/11, 55%) among teams to feature in more than one campaign.
The only two teams in the UEFA Champions League this season who have both had the number of shots they have faced are Aston Villa (41) and Club Brugge (40).
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has faced Belgian opponents four times before in the UEFA Champions League, keeping a clean sheet each time (W3 D1) – he has won his last three games by an aggregate score of 16-0 (Valencia 7-0 Genk in 2011, Anderlecht 0-4 PSG and PSG 5-0 Anderlecht both in 2017).
Aston Villa midfielder Amadou Onana has completed 51 of his 52 pass attempts while under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (98.1%). Of players to attempt at least 20+ such passes, this was the highest completion rate of any player across the first three matchdays this term.
Among goalkeepers to play 2,500+ minutes in UEFA Champions League history, Club Brugge’s Simon Mignolet has the worst minutes per goal conceded ratio (one every 46 minutes). He did keep a clean sheet in his last game against Aston Villa back in February 2016 in a 6-0 Premier League win with Liverpool.
Morgan Rogers has completed 16 dribbles for Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League this season, with this the most on record by an English player (since 2003-04) through the opening three games of a single campaign.
