In perhaps their greatest-ever season since the 1981/82 European Cup heroics, Aston Villa qualified for the Champions League last season – their first time in the competition that was rebranded in 1992. This year they have continued their form, sitting sixth in the league, just one point off third place.
In Europe, they’ve won their first three games, beating Young Boys, Bolgona and most impressively six times Champions League/European Cup winners Bayern Munich on a raucous night at Villa Park.
