The Birmingham club last season, on one hand, were eliminated from the Champions League only in the playoffs by PSG, but on the other, they lost fifth place to Newcastle despite having the same points. This result sent the English side to Aston Villa, where they confidently reached the semifinals, losing 0-1 away. Even domestically, despite setbacks in the cups, they improved and are fighting for third place. However, they lost 0-1 to Fulham in the last round.
The London club compensated for their seventeenth place in the Premier League with a Europa League victory. This season, they also performed better in international competitions—but in the Champions League, they fairly lost to Atletico in the Round of 16. Things have been poor in other tournaments, and De Zerbi, who came in April to save the team, started with a defeat. They settled for a draw with Brighton and only managed to beat a struggling Wolverhampton.
Emery’s team scores an average of 1.38 goals per game, conceding slightly less—1.24 per match. The stars from London score 1.26 on average but concede 1.56.
