UEFA Champions League football match between Aston Villa and Borussia Dortmund at Villa Park.
Aston Villa take on Borussia Dortmund at Villa Park on Tuesday 19 January, a Champions League night that brings a proper European heavyweight to Birmingham. It's a midweek clash, so it's one of those evenings that'll have the city talking long before kick-off.
For those who don't follow the European competition closely, the Champions League is where the top clubs from across the continent face off, and having a side like Dortmund come to Villa Park is a big deal. Dortmund are one of Germany's most storied clubs, known for their massive following and a long history in Europe, so this isn't just another game on the calendar — it's a match that carries a fair bit of weight.
Villa Park is the home ground, situated on Trinity Road, B6 6HE, and it's where the atmosphere really comes into play on a European night. When a team like Dortmund rolls into town, the crowd usually turns out in force, and the noise carries across the stand. If you've been to the ground on a matchday, you know the feeling, but there's something different about a Champions League fixture that changes the energy around the place.

Kick-off is at 8:00pm, so it's a late one on a Tuesday — the kind of night that means getting home well after the final whistle. Tickets start from £156.22, which is a steep ask for a single game, but that's the price of a Champions League night at Villa Park. If you're planning to go, it's worth getting your arrangements sorted early, as a match like this will be in high demand across the city.
