What happened
Villa's perfect start lasted seven minutes. A misplaced pass across their own area fell to Yamal, who curled in the opener — and, with it, a place in the record book as the competition's highest-scoring teenager. Villa pushed back before half-time and missed the chances to level a game that was still alive at the break.
The second half settled it quickly. Fermín López slipped Raphinha in for the second in the 52nd minute — the shot deflecting off Pau Torres — and Cancelo's run and cross gave the captain his second twelve minutes later. Villa, and their manager Unai Emery on his 55th birthday, had no way back.
