I really thought we were in for an exciting night after that first 10 minutes, but now this game is so rubbish I reckon I could nap until half-time and not miss anything. Don't worry, bosses, I won't actually sleep . 19:27, 25'Freiburg 0-0 Aston VillaBy Harry BamforthAston Villa's positive start hasn't quite carried on... In fact, the final has got a bit boring now, which is what we would ave expected from the start.
Maybe the realisation of the fact that this is a final has finally kicked in for the Villa players. 19:23'You're not fit to referee'By Nathan Salt At The Tupras Stadium Chants of 'you're not fit to referee' after that Matty Cash booking.19:23, 21'YELLOW CARD: Freiburg 0-0 Aston VillaBy Harry BamforthThis ref doesn't half like a card, does he? He shows his third inside the first 21 minutes, and this time its for Matty Cash.
I have to say, while Cash gets the ball, he goes in high with his studs showing, not great. A yellow it is, though. 19:19, 17'CLOSE! Freiburg 0-0 Aston VillaBy Harry BamforthOoooft... Freiburg's first chance of the game is the best so far - so, so close to an opener.
The free-kick is headed back out to Nicolas Höfler on the edge of the box, and he hits the ball into the ground, and it looks like it's heading to the bottom corner. But it just veers wide at the last second. 19:17, 15'YELLOW CARD: Freiburg 0-0 Aston Villa By Harry BamforthWelcome to the final, Freiburg. They win a couple of free-kicks, with the second a soft loose arm from Emi Buendia. It's almost nothing, but somehow he gets booked.
Crazy. The midfielder is bewildered by the decision, and so am I. 19:15'Emery is RELENTLESS'By Nathan Salt At The Tupras Stadium You'd have a field day if you're a body language expert watching the two technical areas here. Unai Emery is RELENTLESS, passing on the tiniest of instructions at every possible moment. On the other side you have Julian Schuster who, to put it mildly, looks exasperated with the start his side has made.
Bloke looks utterly confused. 19:13, 11'Freiburg 0-0 Aston Villa By Harry BamforthI fear for Freiburg here, I really do. These first 11 minutes have showcased just how superior Aston Villa are; they are all over the German side. A chasm in quality. Normally, finals are tight early doors, but this has been quite the opposite.
Freiburg's fans, though... wow. They know how to make noise. 19:11, 10'Freiburg 0-0 Aston Villa By Harry BamforthMorgan Rogers is not shy, is he? The midfielder has already had one crack, which forced a save, and now he has another. We all know how brilliant he is at bending in beauties, but he gets this one all wrong.
Way over the bar. 19:09'Matanovic a handful'By Tom Collomosse At The Tupras Stadium Matanovic is, as they say, ‘a handful’. He worked space for a header in the early minutes and Konsa was perhaps lucky to win a free-kick just now after they tussled under a high ball. 19:09'Freiburg can't handle McGinn'By Nathan Salt At The Tupras Stadium Freiburg don't seem to know what to do with John McGinn when he holds these positions so wide on the right.
All Philipp Treu could do there was wrestle him to the floor. Freiburg are being toyed with currently down that side and the Scot is the puppet master.19:07, 6'YELLOW CARD: Freiburg 0-0 Aston Villa By Harry BamforthOh, Johnny boy... that is cheeky. McGinn produces a lovely little turn to send Treu to the shops, before the full-back hacks him down. He gets a yellow, and now it is going to be a long 84 minutes for the lad. Key UpdatesTOP STORIES
