Tyrone Mings anticipates ‘a classic’ in Aston Villa’s showdown with Celtic Tyrone Mings believes Aston Villa’s crunch Champions League meeting with Celtic has the makings of “a classic” and said they must not allow the 1-0 defeat in Monaco on Tuesday to dampen their belief.
Asked about the so-called Battle of Britain at Villa Park, Mings replied: “We deal with pressure and big games all the time, and that’s a game that will hopefully be a classic for the right reasons.
Mings has insisted Villa must swallow the disappointment when they return to Premier League action at home against West Ham on Sunday.
Emery intimated Villa had blown the chance to finish in the top eight and qualify automatically for the last 16 after Wilfried Singo’s winner in Monaco, but it remains mathematically possible.
Unai Emery questioned the mentality of some of his players after Villa slipped to their second European defeat of the season against the Ligue 1 side.
