Victory at Aston Villa with historic 1-0 win against Bayern Munich in Champions League
Aston Villa have won their first home match in the Champions League in 42 years.
Jhon Duran's late goal earned Aston Villa a victorious 1-0 win against German giants Bayern Munich in their first home match in the Champions League in 42 years.
Avid Villa supporter, Prince William, was in the stands to watch his favourite side win the match.
Boss Unai Emery said: “I’m very happy for our supporters and everyone at Aston Villa – coaches, owners, supporters, workers - to share days like today, playing at this level in the Champions League against Bayern Munich and winning,” he said.
“The most important thing is how we competed and how we prepared the game plan, how we were transmitting our energy to the supporters and their energy to us.
“We tried to create a great atmosphere here in Villa Park and it was a moment I want to live and I can enjoy it when I have a day like today.”
Victory against Bayern Munich followed success against Young Boys in their first Champions League match since 1982.
Emery continued: “We have six points and it’s very important. We still have six matches and 18 points to play for.
“We have to try to prepare the next match against Bologna here at home and keep going, increasing our level, our demands and our improvements with the team.
“We have to focus on preparing the match on Sunday, a huge match here at Villa Park. We have to perform consistently.”
Villa next play Bologna at home in the Champions League on 22 October.
