Where to buy Champions League tickets for Villarreal vs. Manchester City | OneFootball

Manchester City return to European action on Tuesday against Villarreal, with a trip to La Ceramica in store for Pep Guardiola’s side. The latter will be keen to get back on track after a surprising late draw against AS Monaco, with the Yellow Submarine a somewhat obvious potential banana skin.

Villarreal are yet to pick up their first win in the Champions League, but have shown their ability to compete early on. Only a Luiz Junior error in goal separated them from a point away to Tottenham Hotspur, in an even game, while Villarreal themselves got a late equaliser against Juventus in Matchday 2, with Renato Veiga making it 2-2 in the 90th minute.

The two sides have met just twice before, with both only becoming major factors in Europe in the 21st century. Those meetings came back in 2011, when City managed two wins over Villarreal, with the first coming at Eastlands. Cani gave Villarreal an early lead, and an own goal from Carlos Marchena levelled things, with only a Sergio Aguero winner in the 93rd minute granting Roberto Mancini’s side the win.

The return tie in Spain was somewhat more comfortable for City, with Mario Balotelli converting a penalty and Yaya Toure scoring a brace in a 3-0 win. Manager Marcelino Garcia Toral does have a reasonable record against English opposition, going 2-1-3 against Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal, but has never faced City. Guardiola has met Villarreal eight times, all with Barcelona, winning five and drawing three times.

Fans travelling to the game from England can go through the City club website to get tickets in the away end, although these are harder to come by as they can only be obtained by club members. Those in Spain meanwhile can look to buy tickets from Villarreal’s website, where there are still a handful of tickets left. However if you are looking for a smoother consumer experience or seats together, then you may be better off trying LiveFootballTickets.com, who still have plenty left of Villareal’s clash with Manchester City.

What to Expect from Villarreal?

One of the form sides in La Liga this season, Villarreal sit third in the table currently, and it is entirely fair to regard them as the third-best team in the division after eight games.

Marcelino’s side have lost just twice in La Liga, away from home to Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, a sign of just how well they are doing. While they have yet to hit the heights of their 5-0 win over Girona in August since, it has been far from an easy run of fixtures for the Yellow Submarine either.

Spending big in the summer on Renato Veiga and Georges Mikautadze, Villarreal have been a major threat on the break this season, launching counters to pacy wide men, and often playing with a target man too.

The questions come at their spine; can Villarreal defend sufficiently well without the ball? That has been their weakness thus far, with the defensive unit a young one that is still learning to play together. Equally, in midfield, the Pape Gueye and one of Santi Comesana, Thomas Partey or Dani Parejo have at times found themselves with too much work to do in the middle of the pitch.
