Aston Villa beat Fenerbahce 6-0 at Villa Park on Wednesday night, the club's biggest ever win in European competition, and moved level with Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona at the top of the Champions League table with two wins from two. In Pakistan the match ended a little before 2am on Thursday, which is why "aston villa vs fenerbahce standings" was one of the most searched sport queries here this morning.

Fenerbahce were not as poor as the score suggests in the first half. Vedat Muriqi was twice stopped by Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and Oguz Aydin hit the crossbar soon after Villa's second, but every Villa chance went in. Fenerbahce winger Mason Greenwood, playing in England for the first time since 2022, was booed throughout by the home crowd, the PA match report on ESPN said. The Prince of Wales, a Villa supporter, watched from the stands.
