Aston Villa, unstoppable in the Champions League
He Villa It is the sensation in the most important club tournament in the world. Nobody had the English club in their plans, but the magnificent level shown by their players allows them to be the leader with 9 points.
Unai Emery You have reasons to smile. His presentation at Champions League It’s perfect. They have not conceded goals in any of their three games, they convince with their football and win. But not only in Europe, because in the Premier League it occupies a more than worthy fourth place behind Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal with only one defeat this year in an official match.
On this occasion, the capacity of Aston Villa To generate good results, he left one more victim in his path: Bologna. Vincenzo Italiano’s players appeared on the pitch much more inspired than Aston Villa’s players, overwhelmed by the rapid movements of their rivals. They created danger during the initial stretch of the match and had the opportunity to take the lead with a left-footed shot from Thijs Dallinga from inside the area that crashed into the chest of the ‘Draw’ Martínez.

Like at Anfield on the second day, Bologna had good moments without a reward. This course of the transalpine team is the ‘must’, which does not translate its dominance into good results. He failed again and Aston Villa woke up with the insistence of Leon Bailey from the right side and with the inspiration of Youri Tielemans, McGinn y Amadou Onana, who took control of the duel.
However, the Aston Villa He also did not take advantage of his options. They were left at zero when they deserved to go into the break ahead on the scoreboard. Durán y McGinn they stroked the goal, but Lukasz Skorupski He supported Bologna with two interventions in a one-on-one against the Colombian and a poisoned thread from the Scotsman. The Polish goalkeeper gave extra life to his teammates, who still had 45 minutes ahead of them to take command again and try not to waste their few options.
The film was repeated after the resumption. Once again Bologna came out strong. And again, he missed his chance, in the boots of Stefan Posch, who wasted a very clear approach from behind that ended with the ball far from the ”s goal.Draw’ Martínez. Vincenzo Italiano, desperate on the bench, seemed to know what was going to happen: that the Aston Villa, would hit the target sooner rather than later.

Durán sentenced the match
And so it was, because McGinn, With a stroke of luck, he finally opened the scoring with half an hour remaining. The Scottish midfielder launched a free kick into the heart of the area, no one among the crowd of players waiting for his cross touched the ball and it ended up hitting the nets of the goal defended by Skorupski. And there, it was all over. Bologna knelt and Durán gave the finishing touch.
The Colombian, shortly after McGinn’s success, got rid of his compatriot Janer Lucumi with a great movement that allowed him to finish off a cross from the left wing by Morgan Rogers. His goal closed the game, but it opened a small controversy with Unai Emery, who almost instantly took her off the field (he had the substitution ready) and a few minutes later he left the bench to go to the locker room before the end of the game.
It was an anecdote within a crash in which the Bologna He received excessive punishment. His sin, not hitting the rival goal, was definitive for the Italian team, which is beginning to experience a worrying situation with its coach. Vincenzo Italiano fails to straighten the course of his players while Emery continues to have fun with him Aston Villa: remains strong in the Premier League and already has full points in the Champions League. Aston Villa is definitely not a fashionable team. It’s a reality.
