Football: Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich 1-0 at Villa Park in the second round of fixtures in the Champions League.
Villa heroically beat German powerhouse | 02:14Aston Villa repeated their famous 1982 European Cup final win over Bayern Munich as Jhon Duran’s winner beat the German giants 1-0 on Thursday morning AEST.
After a comfortable 3-0 win over Young Boys in Switzerland two weeks ago, the visit of the six-time European champions was the sort of glamour tie Villa fans had been relishing and it did not disappoint. However, Jacob Ramsey had strayed off-side in the build up and Villa’s jubilant celebrations were cut short.
Instead, it was Villa’s own super sub that came on to win the game. Five of Duran’s six goals this season have come as a substitute. The 20-year-old showed his strength to hold off Dayot Upamecano and lift the ball over the stranded Neuer. Already sitting top of the Premier League six matches into the season, the understated Slot has deftly ensured Liverpool haven’t missed a beat since the end of Klopp’s successful reign.
Klopp led Liverpool to the Champions League crown in 2019 and also reached the 2018 and 2022 finals, producing countless iconic moments in the process. And the Argentine underlined the point as he started the move that led to Liverpool’s opener and finished it with a perfectly-timed run into the Bologna area to meet Salah’s cross with a close-range strike.
