  • 328. Villa Seek Juve Champions League Refocus After Brugge Setback

    30:02||Ep. 328
    Aston Villa are at the half-way mark in the Champions League's initial league stage. After three wins, a recent slip up in Bruges means the pressure is on to get a result at home to Juventus, if they want to keep their top eight qualification aim alive. Their final four fixtures are perhaps more difficult than their first four, so Unai Emery will be looking for a drastic improvement on his team's performances in the past few weeks.UTVSpecial VPN Discounted Offer with Four Months FreeThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is sponsored by NordVPN.
