Oct 2, 2024, 08:56 PM

Aston Villa marked their return to the Champions League with a historic 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich at Villa Park. Jhon Duran scored the decisive goal in the second half, breaking Bayern's unbeaten run of 41 group stage matches. The match was a significant event for Aston Villa, as it was their first top-level European home game in 41 years. Emiliano Martinez made crucial saves to secure the win, and Unai Emery's tactical brilliance was evident throughout the game. Duran's goal was his fourth game-winning goal as a substitute this season, and it came against Manuel Neuer. This victory replicates the scoreline from their 1982 European Cup final win over Bayern Munich. Prince William was in attendance to witness the memorable night.
