Aston Villa and Juventus Turin face each other in the Champions League this Wednesday evening (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Can the student tame the master? This is one of the issues that will animate this tempting and indecisive meeting between Aston Villa and Juventus. A few years ago, Thiago Motta was still managed in his football career by a certain Unai Emery, when the Italian and the Spaniard rubbed shoulders at Paris Saint-Germain.
Water has flowed under the bridge, and Motta has brilliantly launched his new life as a coach on the other side of the Alps. But make no mistake: it is the Villans who will approach this match as favorites. Despite the weight of its past, Juventus is located behind its evening host in the standings in this phase of the League. The Birmingham club, which is one of the best European students, hopes to confirm its promises.
The expected compositions:
Aston Villa : Martinez; Cash, Carlos, Torres, Worthy; Barkley, Tielemans; Bailey, Rogers, McGinn; Watkins.
Juventus : DiGregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Weah.
