Villa sunk to a 3-2 defeat against Legia Warsaw in Poland on Thursday.
Unai Emery insists Aston Villa must learn how to handle European football and refused to blame his changes after their sloppy 3-2 defeat at Legia Warsaw.
It ranked as one of the worst performances in Emery’s 11 months in charge, with the manager making five changes, including giving a debut to Barcelona loanee Clement Lenglet. “In the second half we started well but in one click, we concede another opportunity and they score a goal.Legia struck after just two minutes in the Group E opener when Wszolek converted Patryk Kun’s cross.
Livewire Muci punished them again after 26 minutes when Villa were left floundering on the flanks and he fired in Wszolek’s centre. This time there was no way back and Marc Gual almost added a fourth when Emi Martinez parried Bartosz Slisz’s shot and Chambers cleared.
