Aston Villa boss Unai Emery called Juventus one of the superpowers of world football ahead of their Champions League meeting on Wednesday.

Villa will be eyeing another massive scalp after they beat Bayern Munich last month when Thiago Motta's Serie A outfit come to Villa Park.

Although Emery's Premier League side have taken more points from their opening four games, the Spaniard says Juve travel to Birmingham as favourites.

'It's a team with Real Madrid in Spain, Bayern Munich in Germany, Paris St Germain in France and Juventus,' he said.
