Villa 'naive' at the Nou Camp
Lamine Yamal of FC Barcelona, Ian Maatsen of Aston Villa in action

The word you'd use in this performance is naive from Aston Villa.

I think there were a lot of times what they did in forward areas were impressive. The final ball wasn't quite there tonight. You cannot try and play out from the back.

It was like a pack of wolves hunting the way Barcelona go after the ball, and they're just waiting and as soon as that first pass is played, they're on it.

A little bit disappointing in the second half after being so positive in the first half, but a huge lesson to learn here tonight against Barcelona as to what the level is.
