Champions League: Barcelona regains balance and inflicts first defeat on Aston Villa

Barcelona inflicted Aston Villa's first defeat after three consecutive wins, with three goals scored by Lamine Yamal (7) and Raphinha (53, 65). This restored their balance in the tournament after the loss to Paris Saint-Germain (2-4) in the third round.

Barcelona achieved an important victory over English visitors Aston Villa with three clean goals at Camp Nou in the fourth round of the Champions League. The goals were scored by Lamine Yamal (7) and Raphinha (53, 65). With this win, Barcelona raised their points to nine, temporarily placing second on goal difference ahead of Aston Villa, whose streak of three consecutive wins in the competition was halted. Players observed a minute of silence before the match in memory of Tenerife player Jesús de Miguel, who died after a violent collision with the opposing goalkeeper. The Champions League anthem was not played in mourning for the train accident in Orda that killed 69 people, and players from both teams wore black armbands.
