OLLIE WATKINS insisted playing Champions League football “was beyond his wildest dreams” as he unveiled Aston Villa’s secret weapon.
The England international will lead the line for Villa against Bayern Munich tonight in a mouth-watering rerun of the 1982 European Cup final.
Watkins said he was amazed at how Villa’s fortunes have risen since boss Unai Emery took charge almost two years ago.
However, asked if he truly believed he would be stepping out at Villa Park with the competition’s famous tune ringing in his ears, the Villa striker said: “No, not for one minute.”
And he says the credit for that must go to Emery, who has led the club from Premier League relegation candidates to Champions League hopefuls.
