SQUAD STATS

Abu Dhabi, a team who have achieved just a single top eight finish in the 17 year history of the Premier League, and who are without a trophy since 1976, field 10 players with a combined cost of £137m, two of whom cost more than £26m, a further two costing more than £15m and another pair costing £10m.
Abu Dhabi’s three goalscorers cost a total of £59m. Villa simply could not compete and this game, result and state of affairs would prove to have a major influence on the fortunes of the club over the succeeding decade.
