Villa looked better in UCL while they're bang so average at Premier League. It seems rarely played in the UCL has motivated them to played beyond our expectation. I was not even expecting them to qualify automatically without goin' throughout play-off. A little surprise.
As for the big teams, all of big teams are qualifying, and City might be out from UCL if they lost against Brugge, but managed to win it. How lucky they're.
It's really exciting to see how Madrid has progressed well after they struggled to win the game in UCL. I bet they're gonna win the UCL again soon.
The most surprising thing was how Milan missed the opportunity to be in the top 8 in the last round with Dynamo Zarub, for whom this victory was very important, but despite the victory they were left out. Probably for me it was more unexpected to see Lille and Aston Villa in the top 8, and Real Madrid were still unlucky to achieve this goal, it’s bad that they will have to play additional games, but I have no doubt that they will beat their opponent, because they are in excellent shape now.
