On the evening of February 28, Aston Villa, thanks to a brace from Marco Asensio, defeated Cardiff and advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals. But the local success did not overshadow the main hero of this encounter.
Details: Asensio does not consider Aston Villa as favorites to win the Cup, as there are still teams like Manchester City, Manchester United, and Newcastle in the competition, but the "Villans" are still contenders for the trophy.
Quote: “We are not considered favorites to win this trophy, but we are contenders. Our opponents still include Manchester City, Manchester United, and Newcastle.
The Cup is very important for the club, for the fans, and for ourselves. It's a way to win a trophy and qualify for the Europa League, so we're pleased to be in the quarterfinals. Now we are focused on the Champions League. We are there, and we must enjoy it and compete,” Asensio stated.
Reminder: One of the assists to Asensio was provided by Marcus Rashford, who is not interested in a full transfer to Aston Villa.
