Emery on the Champions League draw: Home game against Bayern is very special, Villa has beaten Bayern in the Champions League final

The results of the 2024-25 Champions League draw are out. Aston Villa will face Bayern at home. Villa coach Emery looked forward to this match in an interview.

Emery said: "Last week we played against Arsenal at home and the atmosphere was great. Although we lost, we were competitive and played well. I am proud of our performance."

"When the games against Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bologna and Celtic come, we will of course be excited. Those games will be special moments for the fans."

"Why? Because Aston Villa won the Champions League and defeated Bayern Munich in the final (1981-82 season, Villa 1-0 Bayern), and that moment will always remain in our memory."

"Now we want to write a new history. When Villa won the Champions League, many people were still very young, and even Prince William was not born! We are proud that he has always supported us. This time at home against Bayern, we may be able to do something for Villa supporters."
