From the source

Zion Suzuki didn't have his best game for Aston Villa in the 3-0 defeat to Barcelona on Tuesday. The Villans suffered a Champions League defeat against Barca and were stunned by star-studded quality at the Nou Camp.

The B6 side may have known they were in for a rough night after an early mix-up at the back caused Joao Gomes to be robbed of the ball in a dangerous area, as Lamine Yamal took care of business for the hosts.

Things didn't get any better for Unai Emery in the second 45, with Raphinha grabbing himself a brace. It was a good test for Villa, who were up against arguably one of, if not the best teams in the world, as they created some chances of their own.
