ASENS OF OCCASION

Marco does again at the Holte End as his double seals glamour last-8 tie against PSG

- BY NEIL MOXLEY

MISSION accomplished...now for Mission Impossible.

Or should that be Mission Improbable? With Unai Emery at the helm anything is possible as Aston Villa's incredible rise under the Spaniard hit new heights last night.

And who's to say that Villa - who qualified in the top eight, remember - can't topple silky French giants Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals?

All right, PSG might have conquered Liverpool for a spot in the last eight but, if their manager Luis Enrique thinks a passage to the semi-final is assured, he might like to think again.

Villa Park will certainly fancy its chances after an early Club Brugge dismissal took the jeopardy out of this second leg.

It was always going to be a tough ask to overturn this with 11 men. And, after Marcus Rashford induced a sending-off for Kyriani Sabbe, an upset was never on the cards. And the two-goal advantage was added to as Emery flexed his muscles at half-time to stunning effect.

Within five minutes of the re-start, both interval replacements Leon Bailey and Marco Asensio combined for the ex-Real Madrid man to end the tie as a contest.
