Bayern coach Vincent Kompany says four things make Aston Villa ‘so dangerous’ amid comparison to title-winners

Aston Villa are ready for their first Champions League home game when Bayern Munich visits Villa Park.

It promises to be a mouthwatering duel in the Champions League as a replay of the 1982 European Cup final takes center stage.

Aston Villa won that day, although Bayern Munich are the favourites for this match, with the Bavarians being seasoned veterans in this

competition. Unai Emery’s side won their first encounter in Europe’s elite league 3-0 over Young Boys, but this is a whole other level,

especially if Harry Kane is fit enough to start. Villa will be anxious to pull off a famous win in front of a loud Villa Park crowd, and ahead

of the match, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany has underlined areas that make the hosts’so dangerous’.

Bayern recently squandered points against Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, with Kompany’s side held to a 1-1 draw.

Leverkusen has become a force to be reckoned with under Xabi Alonso, with their flowing and offensive style helping them overtake

Bayern in Germany’s top flight.

Although Alonso’s side is presently three points behind the leaders, with Bayern leading the way, they are anticipated to compete for

another Bundesliga crown. Meanwhile, in a pre-match interview, Kompany compared their opponents to Bayer Leverkusen while

discussing what makes Aston Villa’so dangerous’. According to writer Jacob Tanswell, Kompany stated: “Everything Aston Villa does is

very clear.” You can see what they intend to accomplish at each step of the game. They are incredibly compact between the lines, with

minimal space, comparable to Leverkusen. They are deadly on the counterattack and may get behind the defence.
