As a political football, Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv was the equivalent of Keir Starmer going in two-footed — on the British public, Birmingham police and the rule of law itself — only to somehow end up kicking himself in the face. The game itself, which could see Aston Villa climb back towards the top of the Europa League standings, is very much a footnote to the nationwide opprobrium it’s unleashed.
You can watch Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.
To recap, local police announced that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans wouldn’t be allocated tickets, because of their well-documented history of ultra right-wing thuggery both at home and abroad. Against a backdrop of widespread disbelief, the U.K. government cynically spun the decision into something it patently was not, vowing to do “everything in our power” to get Maccabi Tel Aviv fans into Villa Park.
Three days later, the Tel Aviv football derby between Maccabi and Hapoel had to be abandoned due to “risks to human life”, according to Israeli police, with fans, officers and infrastructure being subjected to “serious violence”. Two days after that, Maccabi Tel Aviv stated that it would decline any tickets to the Aston Villa game out of concern for the “wellbeing and safety of our fans”, and accused “various entrenched groups [of seeking] to malign the Maccabi Tel Aviv fanbase”.
They sit 32nd in the Europa league standings, from 36 teams. Aston Villa, three points off the top spot in 10th, were stunned by Dutch minnows Go Ahead Eagles last time out, with Ollie Watkins’ awful form now a beginning to test Unai Emery’s patience. He has one goal and no assists to his name this season, and with Morgan Rogers, Emi Buendia, John McGinn and Lucas Digne feeding him, he’s not been short of service.
