Guys, stop discussing Man United because there are important things we have to discuss, such as Aston Villa victory which managed to defeat the biggest team in the bundesliga.
Have you seen the results that Aston Villa got?
Surely the supporters are currently celebrating the victory because Aston Villa can compete consistently in the UCL with 2 wins without conceding. And even Aston Villa managed to occupy a position above Man City in the UCL standings.

So far all of Premier league teams can able to overcomes their opponents in champion league because Manchester City, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Liverpool have done well but for Manchester City and Liverpool i think their results were predictable because these teams only facing small teams which from the strength is below to them especially for Manchester City that i have no wonder if they can win with big scores because Manchester City opponent is only Slovakia team Slovan Bratislava

For Arsenal and Aston Villa basically both of them has hard match because they fight against big teams especially for Aston Villa that their opponent is Bayern Munich which on the paper their strength is above to Aston Villa but surprisingly Aston Villa has successfully to beat this team with very well and for Champion league i expect all of the teams from Premier league can able to advances to the next round

For now, the Premier League teams are still favored and taken into account in the UCL stage, but Aston Villa's victory over Bayern was quite surprising in my opinion because no one expected that Aston Villa would be able to win the match and for Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal I think they won the match fairly because since before the PL team was very favored, even for this season Manchester City is still the top favorite to win the Champion League.

Exactly, no one expected to see Aston Villa walk away with all three points in last night's match against Bayern who is more experienced than them in UCL. It is good to see that English clubs kept up with their consistency especially Liverpool and Aston Villa who gave won their two matches.

I can't say who is the favorite currently because the new UCL format might displace some big clubs out of the league since, every club is playing with different clubs and not like before where there is always a home advantage. You will not have the time to study the club that you just played with. Also some unforeseen challenges that might happen either inside or outside the pitch can lead to unexpected defeat.

The new UCL format is gonna affect all the teams because they don't have time to rest and strategize team playing patterns before having their various league title matches to play.

For League matches alone, there are 38 matches to be played each. Where for Champions League matches, each team plays the other 19 teams, home and away. Summing up to 76 matches. Plus, other domestic and international competitions are to be played. Let's not forget that the further each team wins in their various matches, the more matches they are to play until they are kicked out of the league competition.

Having said that, Aston Villa has been fortunate enough to have their first and second win in the Champions League, making them look formidable. All thanks to Emery(Aston Villa coach), who made it happen for Aston Villa to appear dominating in the Champions League and Premier League matches
