Aston Villa history in the Champions League/European Cup

After playing two seasons in the competition, Villa wouldn't feature in the European Cup/Champions League again for more than four decades. Manager Unai Emery guided the team to fourth place in the 2023/24 Premier League season, earning Champions League qualification for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa: Champions of Europe

Taking part in the European Cup for the first time, Aston Villa remarkably captured this famous trophy in the 1981/82 season. The Villans overcame Dynamo Kiev in the quarter-finals, 2-0 on aggregate, before scraping past Belgian outfit Anderlecht in the semi-finals with a narrow 1-0 win at Villa Park.

AVFC faced German giants Bayern Munich in the European Cup final, and the odds were firmly stacked against the English team. Villa made the most of their underdog status and were able to prevent international forwards Dieter Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge from scoring at De Kuip in Rotterdam.

Peter Withe scored the decisive goal in the second half as the Villans ran out 1-0 winners to claim a maiden European title. This continued the streak of English clubs winning this competition for six consecutive seasons, after Liverpool and Nottingham Forest had alternatively ascended to the throne from 1977-81.

Of course, winning the European Cup in 1982 stands out as the single most memorable occasion for Aston Villa in UEFA competitions. Peter Withe's all-important goal sent the travelling AVFC supporters into a frenzy and their celebrations would carry on long into the night.

The Villans unsuccessfully defended their crown the following year, crashing out to Juventus (5-2 on aggregate) in the quarter-finals. Withe scored in the second leg but it was a mere consolation as the Italian side went on to reach the final that season.
