Excited Aston Villa striker Watkins raring to go against Bayern Munich tonight

The team is determined to capitalize on their successful start from matchday one, and striker Ollie Watkins is eagerly anticipating the challenge of facing the formidable German giants.

“These are the nights we’ve all dreamt of, especially since I’ve come here,” Watkins said at Tuesday’s pre-match media conference.

“Playing Champions League football for Villa is the best it can get, really.

“I think we’re all just going to go out there, enjoy it, not make the most of it because it sounds as though we’re here underestimating ourselves.

“But enjoy it because it’s been so long since the club has been involved in a competition like this.

“For me personally, I haven’t experienced Champions League football before.

“So, enjoy it, these are the times I’ve dreamt of as a kid.”
