Aston Villa paid a fitting tribute to their late former striker Gary Shaw with a resounding 3-0 victory over Young Boys in their Champions League opener
Shaw, a key figure in Villa’s 1982 European Cup triumph, passed away on Monday, casting a shadow over the club’s return to top-tier European football.
Manager Unai Emery urged his team to dedicate the win to Shaw’s memory, and they responded with goals from Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey, and Amadou Onana.
The convincing win marked a stellar start to Villa’s Champions League campaign in the revamped 32-team format.
Their next challenge comes in two weeks when they host Bayern Munich, a matchup that will truly test their mettle in the competition.
Villa’s players delivered a heartfelt performance, honoring Shaw’s legacy and kicking off their European journey on a high note.
