Vandals burn a car and spray graffiti in latest antisemitic attack in SydneyAston Villa boss Unai Emery has set his sights on automatic qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League after a 3-2 win at RB Leipzig. Ross Barkley’s 85th-minute goal gave them victory in Germany after goals from John McGinn and Jhon Duran early in each half were cancelled out by Lois Openda and Christoph Baumgartner. That sent them up to third in the new league phase of the competition ahead of Wednesday’s games and with matches against Monaco and Celtic to come, Villa have an excellent chance of finishing in the top eight. Job done... in the end ? #RBLAVL #UCL pic.twitter.com/PRD1Hi1Q3A — Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) December 10, 2024 That would mean they would avoid a play-off round to make it through to the last 16 and Emery says that is the target. “Today was key. Juventus at home, we were thinking more to win but in the end we accepted the draw because it was important for a point to be more or less in the top 24,” he told Amazon Prime. “Today was a match we were thinking at the beginning was key to be a contender to be in the top eight with the last two matches to be played. “It is going to be difficult and we have to get some more points but we now have the possibility to achieve this option. Aston Villa midfielder Ross Barkley scored the winner (DPA/PA) “We weren’t contenders in the beginning to get there but now we have to accept it.” Leipzig, who are flying high near the top of the Bundesliga, are out after losing all six matches. They did pose a threat to Villa, who inflicted some of their own problems on themselves, notably a rare gaffe from goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for Openda’s equaliser. “I try to enjoy and always we want to improve and sometimes it is hard but today the team were performing well, playing seriously and I was enjoying it,” he added. “We tried to overcome the mistakes we made and we did. More or less we were playing consistently. One mistake and they score but then we played very well. “Champions League is very difficult and we have to expect that every team playing at home are feeling strong. We played with consistency and domination.”Mangione family in Maryland: What we knowWhen fire threatened a California university, the school says it knew what to do
WAYNE Rooney has shared a sweet message about how 'proud' he is of Coleen - as he urged fans to vote her for a trial. The footie legend took to social media to publicly back his wife as her first week in the jungle draws to a close. Wayne, 39, shared a selection of snaps of Coleen on I'm A Celebrity as he pleaded with fans to vote for her to do a Bushtucker Trial. He told his 16 million Instagram followers: "Proud of @coleen_rooney on @imacelebrity she’s doing great. "Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. "If you can download the #ImACeleb app and let’s get voting." It appears Wayne's plea has paid off, with Ant and Dec announcing to camp that Coleen and Dean McCullough had been voted to do the next trial. The pair will face Absolute Carnage, which will see one of them locked in the back of a pick up van. Coleen previously revealed how she has left footie-style tactics boards filled with instructions to ensure her sons are looked after while she is in Australia for I’m a Celebrity. The mum of four has filled two whiteboards with details of parties, pick-ups and drop-offs for the next four weeks. Husband Wayne, 39, manages Championship side Plymouth Argyle, 300 miles away from the family home in Cheshire — so Coleen has had to draft in an army of friends and relatives to help with Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six. MAURA Higgins is a late entry to I'm A Celeb 2024. Yet who is joining her? 2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to the jungle line-up. She will head into the I'm A Celeb camp , along with the Reverend Richard Coles , 62. The duo will join the likes of Coleen Rooney , Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series. Yet initially the duo will have their own private base - and a secret mission - before heading into the main compound Down Under. Maura has already described the jungle as "hell." Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has confessed his biggest "fear."
