  "account": "Barcelona secured a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa in the Champions League on Tuesday, ending Villa's perfect start to the competition. The match took place at Camp Nou, with Lamine Yamal putting Barcelona ahead in the seventh minute. Raphinha then scored twice in the second half, netting one goal to add to his impressive season tally and securing Barcelona's first clean sheet in 19 games. Villa, who had only previously visited Camp Nou as children, saw their efforts fall short against Barcelona's superior ability in the final third. The Champions League anthem was omitted before the match as a sign of respect for Jesus De Miguel, a Tenerife striker who tragically died after an on-pitch collision during a Spanish second division game earlier that day.",
  "summary": "Unai Emery's side competed well in the first half but were eventually undone by Barcelona's greater quality in the final third in a 3-0 defeat.",
