After 42 years, Unai Emery and Co will be hoping to recreate the memories of the past. Although the challenge they face is one of the top clubs in Europe, that does not faze the villains as the head coach wants such a level of competition consistently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re motivated and excited to play tomorrow with our supporters in Villa Park in this scenario, this match, remembering the final of the European Cup played against them 42 years ago. Now, at this moment in our process, we have to try to play one more match. It\u2019s against one of the best teams in the world and maybe they\u2019re favourites with another three or four teams to win this competition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI want to play matches like this and I want to play consistently matches like this. In the Premier League we are facing teams like them, favourites \u2013 Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal \u2013 that can win this competition this year. They are favourites with other teams like Bayern Munich,\u201d said Emery at the pre-game press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
