Aston Villa
The team lured Emery to the coaching post two years ago. And so far this seems like the best move in decades. Unai immediately raised his wards to seventh place, and in the spring – even to the quartet of leaders. This is despite the fact that last season they were constantly loaded into the Conference League, where they went from the summer qualifiers to the spring playoffs. Now the English, more or less maintaining their level in the Premier League, are trying themselves for the first time in the Champions League format. The start was as successful as possible: they started with a 3:0 defeat of Young Boys, then suffered a 1:0 defeat against Bayern and confidently defeated the second debutant, Bologna. But since the end of October, Villanova experienced a sharp decline, and it seems that it also affected the European Cup, or simply the English already understand that the task of reaching the playoffs has largely been fulfilled. In any case, they lost to modest Brugge 0:1.

Juventus
Last season, after a long hiatus, the club climbed back into the group of Italian football leaders. In that Series A, they achieved third place – only Milan and Inter were higher. They also won a trophy, in the form of the Italian Cup. But all the same, capital changes took place in the summer: Allegra, who was fired in the spring, was replaced by Thiago Motta, and they did not skimp on updating the team. The new version of Stara Signora is in the ring of the leaders of Serie A, but there is no question of some kind of dominance there, the chances for the Scudetto are now equal for many. In the Champions League, the Italians started with victories over PSV and RB Leipzig. But then they lost at home to Stuttgart and limited themselves to a draw at Lille.
Statistics of personal meetings
