Aston Villa punched their ticket to the Champions League quarterfinals after beating Club Brugge 6–1 over both legs.
Finishing amongst the top eight in the league phase and booking their spot to the quarterfinals makes this already dream season for Aston Villa in their return to the biggest European competition after 42 years.
Unai Emery's side continued Aston Villa's streak of always making the quarterfinals whenever they compete in Europe's biggest club tournament. Despite this being Villa's debut appearance in the rebranded Champions League, they previously featured in twice in the European Cup in 1981-82 and 1982-83, lifting the title in the former after defeating Bayern Munich in the final.
Four decades later, Aston Villa dares to dream about repeating such a feat and return to the summit of European soccer.
Here's who Aston Villa will play in the Champions League quarterfinals.
