Mason Greenwood faced a challenging return to English football as Fenerbahce suffered a 6-0 defeat against a dominant Aston Villa in the Champions League. This match marked Greenwood's first appearance in England since his suspension by Manchester United in January 2022, where he was met with a chorus of boos from Villa Park's home fans.

The match started with a bang as Johan Manzambi celebrated his 21st birthday by scoring the opener in the 12th minute. Nicolas Jackson then added two goals, putting Villa comfortably ahead at 3-0 by halftime.

Key highlights of the match include:

  • Manzambi's goal, which was deflected in off Milan Skriniar.
