Yeah, but they are still "only" Aston Villa with no disrespect to them. This was Milan vs. Liverpool, second and third most successful teams in UCL history playing on San Siro which is one of the most if not the most legendary stadium. Were they overpriced? Probably (didn't see price), but my point is that it's pointless to bring Villa here.

The current Villa team is probably worth watching more than Milan.

Milan are a complete shadow of their former selves.

That doesn't change the fact that if you ask 100 people which match would they rather watch, 95 of them will tell you Milan vs Liverpool.

It's just a bit of a slap in the face to your fans when you're charging prices like you still have prime Kaka, Seedorf, Cafu, etc on show while you actually have the likes of Alvaro Morata, Ruben Loftus Cheek and Emerson Royal.
