Club Brugge have no problems heading clear.Club Brugge show their first signs of threat, winning a corner off Disasi from a De Cuyper cross. The Tzolis corner is utterly dreadful and goes straight out for a goal-kick.Champions League match and then being forced to be dressed like a credit card. Cheers Uefa.Aston Villa are bedecked in white.Club Brugge. Tzolis was on fine form that night for the Belgians, causing problems on the wing. I look forward to see him in action again tonight.Aston Villa.
His Manchester United debut was in Europe and he did alright.

Champions League pretty sharpish. I spoke to his former chairman at Haverfordwest about his time there (before Club Brugge Manchester City).
result of some mild comedy/incompetence, depending on your point of you.
As John McGinn indicated in yesterday’s press conference, Villa are out for revenge and will be confident of providing it. Unai Emery’s side have been a mixed bag this season, partially down to the increase schedule caused by being involved in Europe’s top competition. They bolstered their options in January and will be hoping that is enough to take them far in the Champions League.
As for Club Brugge, they are overachieving with a fine team of youngsters. They caused problems for Manchester City in the final group game and then nigh-on humiliated Atalanta in the playoff. There is plenty of quality in their ranks and they will be eager to show it on the biggest stage once more.
Kick-off: 5.45pm GMT
