From the source

Many faces were smiling among the supporters of FC Barcelona when they beat the English side Aston Villa 3-0 in a Champions League clash held at the Spotify Camp Nou.

The side managed by Hansi Flick seemed to have everything under their control since the start of the match. Barcelona had to wait only seven minutes.

Lamine Yamal capitalized on an Aston Villa defensive mistake, punishing the visitors and giving the hosts an early advantage. From there, Barcelona rarely looked troubled, with Villa struggling to find a consistent response to the pressure and movement of Flick's attacking players.
