Aston Villa v Bayern Munich

Aston Villa is back in top-tier European competition after 41 years.

Interestingly, their only European Cup title came during their glory days in the 1980s against Bayern Munich. Now, in their first Champions League home match, they face Bayern, one of the tournament favourites.

Bayern started the tournament with a huge 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb. They are also unbeaten in the Bundesliga and currently top the standings under their new manager, Vincent Kompany.

Aston Villa had a similarly convincing victory in their tournament opener, defeating Young Boys 3-0 away. They have continued where they left off last season, chasing a top-four finish in the Premier League, currently sitting on 13 points from six games, just two points behind the top of the table.

The atmosphere at Villa Park will be electric. Aston Villa is young, dynamic, and against Bayern Munich, it promises to be an exciting match to watch on TV.
