UEFA Champions League: Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich is one of the biggest fixtures in the history of the English club. The last time the side was in the UEFA Champions League was when they defeated the German giants 1-0 in the final of the 1982 European Cup (now known as UEFA Champions League).
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.
“We’re 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’s against one of the best teams in the world and maybe they’re favourites with another three or four teams to win this competition.
