Aston Villa vs Club Brugge

Fixture Date: 12/03/25

Competition: UEFA Champions League Last 16

It’s a reunion between Aston Villa and Club Brugge in the Last 16 of this season’s UEFA Champions League, with the knockout second-leg tie held at Villa Park.

Unai Emery’s side, who finished eighth in the League phase, suffered their first defeat in this season’s competition to the Belgian champions in Jan Breydelstadion and will be out for revenge when they meet again in March.

The Claret and Blues have enjoyed an eventful journey in Europe’s elite club competition for the first time in 41 years during 2024/25, and will be hopeful of reaching the quarter-finals - where they would meet either Liverpool or Paris St Germain - if they can manoeuvre past Nicky Hayen’s Blauw-Zwart.

Brugge, who finished 24th in the group phase stage, eliminated Italian’s Atalanta 5-2 on aggregate in the knockout round play-offs to set up a reunion with Villa.

It is guaranteed to be a night of high drama in B6 and supporters can pre-order a copy of the club’s official match-day publication ‘The Villa News & Record’ for this blockbuster meeting and have it delivered direct to their door.

This B5 size 84pp perfect-bound commemorative issue will be sent first class by Royal Mail on Tuesday 11th March, if pre-ordered before Monday 10th, and should be expected no longer than five working days after the game. Any orders subsequently placed after the fixture has happened will aim to be despatched within three working days.

The price for this edition is £5, plus post and packaging to a UK/Ireland address.
