Aston Villa's European Journey: Unai Emery's Record Shines
8 Sep
Summary
- Unai Emery boasts a strong 67% win rate in UCL with Aston Villa.
- Club Brugge has a poor record against English sides in Europe.
- Youngster George Hemmings could make a historic Villa European appearance.
Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa has achieved a notable 67% win rate in the UEFA Champions League. This impressive statistic places Emery second among managers with over 10 games for an English side in the competition. Aston Villa's upcoming match features Club Brugge, a team that has struggled against English opposition, winning only one of their last 17 European encounters.
Club Brugge's defensive record in the UEFA Champions League since the 2024-25 season has been a concern, conceding 43 goals in 15 matches. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer has been a standout performer, preventing 9.5 goals based on shot xG. Meanwhile, Aston Villa might see the European debut of 19-year-old George Hemmings, potentially becoming the second teenager to start for the club in the competition.
