Playmaker Aston Villa Marco Asensio succeeds under the leadership of Unai Emery, and his home club Paris Saint-Germain could be the next victims of his rich vein forms in the Champions League.
The prospects for a star like a Spaniard who arrived at Villa Park, six years since their promotion to the Premier League after three seasons in the championship, seems like a fairy tale in itself. However, the latest turn could be just around the corner.
Just over two months since they replaced Paris for Birmingham, two parties will meet in a quarterfinal conflict in the mouth of the European elite competition-Ciloes asensio have requested a binding.
The 29-year-old has already scored his number of seven goals during his and a half years at PSG in a fraction of time for Villa, he will now look to persecute his home club by adding to these numbers in two-legged ties.
Three of them arrived at the 16th year against the Bruggge Club, forcing Villa to the dominant total victory of 6-1. Asensio only took 72 minutes on the ground to cause that damage, such is the shape in which it is.
The lenders who persecute their home club are rarely seen in England because of the Premier League verdict – but it is not uncommon in Europe. The UEFA legal book forbids “any impact on players that the second club could perform in the match”, which means that Asensio is free to play with a point to prove.
Here, Sky Sports Take a look at the other players who stood out when they face their employers while in temporary moves.
Coutinho back to Barcelona’s bite
Barcelona Marquis of the £ 142 million pounds signing Philippe Coutinh – it was a successor to the throne of Lionel Messi – she did not go to the plan. His goals against them that Bayern Munich kicked them out of Europe in the 2019/20 season just added salt to the wound.
Like Asensio, Coutinho continued the loan after a year and a half of frustration to join Bayern before meeting his home club in the quarterfinals.
Villa fans hope that their current playmaker will have a similar impact on Brazil Maestro, a player who is still contracted at the club, after scoring twice and helping another goal during an angry 8-2 victory on the aggregate.
UEFA enters to enable Courtois to play in relation to Chelsea
One of the most important fire reactions in football. Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois spent three seasons on loan with Atletico Madrid and eventually continued to meet with Blues in the 2013/14 Champions League semi -finals.
It was announced that the loan cluster demanded that Atletico pay a sum of £ 2.5m per game if Courtois was elected, which led to the Spanish side of the UEFA and after claiming they could not pay the compensation.
The decision was eventually made that the Belgian MP could be made on the field without any payment, and Chelsea’s clause tried to “influence” their opponents to choose.
Courtois would then shine in a two-legged tie for Atletico, holding a clean list in the first part and impressing on Stamford Bridge while his side went with a 3-1 victory to the aggregate.
Morientes Tone Real Madrid
Like Asensio, Fernando Morientes abolished the European elite trophy on three different opportunities with Real Madrid – but he knocked them out.
After joining Monaco on loan in the 2003/04 season, Morientes faced Los Blancos in a dramatic 10 goals thriller, which led to the French side won 5-5 on the aggregate thanks to goals. The Spaniards scored into both legs.
He would continue to look for a golden boot for the tournament that year, with nine in his name, before returning to Bernabeu next season.
Coman leaves it late vs Juventus
Kingsley Coman, a player well versed on the big stage, was joined by Bayern Munich on loan from Juventus 2015/16. And he would continue to Tee Thomas Muller in the dying wishes of the last 16 meeting between the two sides to send the game to extension.
The wing then scored in the 110th minute to seal a 6-4 victory on the aggregate after Thiago fired Pepa Guardiola to the side in front of the tie.
Debits in Villa Park – for another club!
Well, maybe it would be fair to say that Samuel Iling -Junior did not persecute Villa when they met earlier in the season – but this is a unique situation worth mentioning.
The 21-year-old was signed from Juventus for just over £ 11m in summer, before immediately heading to Italy on loan with Bologna.
Villa were drawn against Bologna in the league phase of the tournament, and Ilinga-Junior climbed from the bench in the 77th minute of a 2-0 defeat of his home club, which means his The first excursion to Villa Park, as he contracted at the club, arrived as he wore a second team T -shirt.
