Aston Villa Review: Villa fluff their lines in Champions League must-win

Hello. How’ve you been since our last episode in, er, 2017?Aston Villa have changed in the last eight years – not beyond recognition, but certainly an awful lot. We’ve had a season to enjoy in the Champions League and a solid run to the FA Cup semi-final, neither of which featured much in the Aston Villa Review of old.We had our fair share of disappointments to deal with, though, so it’s only right that we start our second life with another one.In this week’s episode we look back at Villa’s defeat against Manchester United and the 2024/25 season as a whole.What does it all mean? What are the implications?
