The Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich clash in the Champions League replicates the 1982 European Cup Final. Villa Park is certain to be filled to capacity as Villa once again contends with Europe’s elite teams.
Bayern approaches this match following a 1-1 draw against last season’s Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen. Meanwhile, Villa also played to a draw away at Ipswich Town, a match in which they might have been somewhat distracted, keeping their focus on this upcoming Champions League clash.
An emotionally charged evening awaits, marking the first competitive encounter between the two since Villa’s renowned victory in the competition 42 years ago. Especially given that Gary Shaw, an integral member of that Villa team, has recently passed away.
