FC Barcelona vs Aston Villa History

When it comes to teams with a rich history of success in Europe, they don’t get much bigger than FC Barcelona. It is, however, worth noting that the La Liga side struggled to land their first-ever top-tier UEFA title.

They lost finals to both Benfica and Steaua Bucharest (in 1961 and 1986) before finally cracking the code in 1992 when a Ronald Koeman free-kick saw off Sampdoria at Wembley Stadium.

There then followed a hugely successful dominant spell where the club were the best in the world, especially during Pep Guardiola’s spell in charge of the Nou Camp outfit. Between 2005 and 2015, they won four UEFA Champions League crowns, with the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta being key figures.

Aston Villa’s first appearance in the European Cup resulted in a shock triumph. The Midlands side, who had just one their first domestic championship in seventy years, waltzed through to the final of the competition before then surprising many by edging out big favourites Bayern Munich to secure a famous victory.

Their qualification for the UEFA Champions League in 2024 represented a return to the top table of the European game for the first time in over forty years.

FC Barcelona vs Aston Villa Head-to-Head

These two teams have met on a couple of occasions in competitive European action. In 1978, they faced off in the 1977/78 UEFA Cup Quarter-Finals. Two late goals from Ken McNaught and John Deehan earned the Villa Park side a credible 2-2 draw with their illustrious opponents, and even though Aston Villa took a surprise lead away at Barcelona, they were defeated 4-3 on aggregate.

The two clubs also met in the 1982 Super Cup, back when the competition was a two-legged affair. Barcelona won the first leg 1-0, but it was Aston Villa that ran out winners after clinching a fabulous 3-0 home win after extra time.
