Three games into the new Champions League campaign, Aston Villa have yet to drop a point. The perfect start has the English club sitting second in the League Phase standings, but a trip to Barcelona on Tuesday will put their unbeaten record to the test.
Villa travel to Spain for a showdown with Barcelona at Spotify Camp Nou, where the hosts enter as heavy favorites. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET, with the match streaming on Paramount+.
Under manager Unai Emery, Villa have collected nine points in their first three UCL matches, defeating Club Brugge 3-2, Fenerbahce 6-0 and Viking FK 3-1.
Barcelona, meanwhile, opened its Champions League campaign with convincing wins over Feyenoord (5-1) and Galatasaray (4-1) before suffering a 4-2 defeat against defending champion Paris Saint-Germain on October 20.
Hansi Flick’s squad responded to consecutive losses against PSG and Real Madrid with a 6-1 victory over Alaves on Saturday in La Liga play. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha each scored twice as Barcelona returned to its winning ways ahead of Tuesday’s fixture.
Barcelona and Aston Villa haven’t faced each other competitively since January 1983, when Villa captured the UEFA Super Cup with a 3-1 aggregate victory. More than four decades later, Villa return to Barcelona with a clean UCL record, while the Spanish champions look to strengthen their position in the race for automatic qualification to the round of 16.
