How Villa could send a message with Bayern win

Villa could send a statement to the rest of Europe, if they get one over on Vincent Kompany's side.

Obviously, that depends if the Bavarians go with a strong side, but if they do, then it would a big result if Emery's side won.

They will be in the Champions League in the 2026-27 season, after winning the Europa League last time out, and can show that they belong there against the 35-time domestic champions.

Kompany's men have won their last two friendlies by a margin of 17-1, with a 15-0 win over Rottach-Egern and a 2-1 win over Jeju, but this will be a step up in opposition.

The Villans will be looking to finish their tour in fine form and to take that into the start of their season.
