It is unclear whether PSG will activate the clause to buy Asensio after the 2024/25 season ends. |
Aston Villa failed to make history against PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals, despite winning 3-2 in the second leg at Villa Park. Unai Emery's side fought bravely, but once again, they were defeated 4-5 on aggregate.
While praise has been heaped on players like Marcus Rashford, Youri Tielemans, and Ian Maatsen, Marco Asensio has been the target of criticism from Aston Villa fans. After joining Villa on loan from PSG in the January transfer window, Asensio has been impressive in the Premier League, but has recently faced a worrying decline in form.
Against PSG, Asensio was expected to be the man to decide Villa’s fate, especially when he was given the chance to come on in the second half of the return leg. However, the Spanish midfielder missed a great chance when facing Gianluigi Donnarumma, leaving Villa fans disappointed.
On social media, a series of comments criticizing Asensio appeared. Some fans even joked that he "deliberately missed" to keep PSG in the Champions League. However, these criticisms also reflect the great expectations that fans have for Asensio, who they believe will be the "trump card" in decisive matches.
Previously, in the 3-0 win over Southampton in round 32 of the Premier League, Asensio missed two consecutive penalties. This raised concerns about the former Real Madrid star's lack of consistency.
Asensio has scored eight goals in 14 games for Villa in all competitions so far. It is unclear whether the club will activate the option to buy or loan the player after the 2024/25 season.
