Final Verdict | Villa to face PSG in quarters
Club Brugge had a lot of things to do away from home and they were already running behind the game when Kyriani Sabbe received the direct card in the 17th minute of the game.
However, Villa were not able to take advantage of that until Unai Emery made the substitution in the second half.
Marco Asensio came and made it look easy to score two goals while Ian Maatsen scored one to hand Aston Villa a 3-0 lead which was enough for them to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since the 1982/83 season.
Villa now have become the 9th Premier League team to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League era.
They will face Unai Emery and Marco Asensio's former club PSG in the quarter-finals.
