Aston Villa repeated their famous 1982 European Cup final win over Bayern Munich as Jhon Duran’s winner beat the German giants 1-0 on Wednesday.
Eleven minutes into the game, the Colombian attacker beat Manuel Neuer off his line to give Villa their first Champions League victory in forty-one years.
Since Vincent Kompany came over, Bayern had not lost and were in free-scoring form when they went to Villa Park.
However, Unai Emery’s strategy hampered the visitors, who were caught off guard when Duran pounced on a long pass from Pau Torres and shot over Neuer from a distance.
Among the more than 40,000 Villa supporters who encouraged Emery’s team to ignore the huge disparity in the teams’ Champions League histories was Prince William.
