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.
it was a really commendable one from Aston Villa in that game, even when it felt like they were lucky, it still turned out they are winners and have been able to get the complete points in that game unlike before when they will be struggling at some point to win Bayern Munich in a champions league game where they aren't experienced enough, even in the game it was obvious they were not playing really well but were just defensive and got lucky at some point with which they were able to secure the victory. all premier league teams are doing well.
