Aston Villa maintained their perfect start to the season with a convincing victory over Bologna, thanks to goals from John McGinn and Jhon Durán. After McGinn opened the scoring with a free-kick that caught everyone off guard, the scoreboards in the stadium briefly malfunctioned, displaying a fictional 3-0 lead for Villa, a nod to the captain's impressive form. Under the management of Unai Emery, Villa has emerged as a formidable force in the restructured Champions League, boasting a flawless record with three wins from three matches. Following McGinn's opener, Durán, who was given a rare starting opportunity, doubled the lead with his seventh goal of the season. The atmosphere among Villa supporters was electric as their team continued to shine on the European stage.
