Aston Villa vs Bayern Munich Reflections
It was the dream tie that Aston Villa supporters could only dream of a few seasons ago, a return to the Champions League against the team they beat in the 1982 European Cup final. In case you missed it, we recorded a reaction podcast episode to relive the unforgettable Champions League clash between Aston Villa and Bayern Munich. On a night filled with drama, we dive into Emery’s tactics on the night, the standout performances of Emi Martinez and Jhon Duran, and the Villa Park atmosphere that made the match one for the history books.
