Watch Barcelona vs Aston Villa live in the Champions League 2026/27 as Unai Emery takes his upstarts to the Camp Nou in search of a fourth win from four in the league phase. Hansi Flick's Blaugrana have lost two of their last three in all competitions and want a statement victory.
After successive defeats by PSG and Real Madrid in the Champions League and La Liga respectively, Barça got back to winning ways at the weekend with a 6-1 gubbing of Alaves. Braces for Raphinha and Lamine Yamal helped maintain their two-point lead at the Primera summit and Los Cules must focus on tonight even with a top-of-the-table clash with Atletico Madrid coming at the weekend. That duo have 29 goals already this season and will want more to guide the Catalans up from eighth in the league phase. Fermin Lopez, who has 12 goals contributions to his name already this season should also start
After seeing off Club Brugge, a woeful Fenerbahce and Viking, Villa now face the five-time European champions – for the first time in more than four decades – in the sort of elite fixture that Emery relishes. Nicolas Jackson scored again in the weekend draw with Fulham and the in-form Senegalese has the physique and finishing ability to put pressure on a defensive unit that has been without Eric Garcia, Jules Kounde, Xavi Espart and Andreas Christensen through injury. Christensen is back in training and may feature, but Frenkie de Jong was pressed into emergency center-back duty against Alaves, a challenge an in-form Jackson would relish.
