UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 is over, and one of the outstanding performances came from Aston Villa, which took down Bayern Munich. The English club’s result is rare, as one outlet noted after the contest was over.
In the tightly contested matchup, the only goal would come in the latter stages of the second half. Colombian ace Jhon Duran scored in the 79th minute to give the home side a 1-0 lead and the eventual win.
The German side losing in the group stage, now the league phase, is a rare occurrence as LiveScore spotlighted on X that the last time Bayern Munich lost in this phase of the competition was in 2017, which was to Paris Saint-Germain, who were also managed by Unai Emery.

It’s in PSG’s best interest to review the game tape to determine what Emery did to allow Villa to keep Bayern Munich’s attack quiet. The Parisians will travel to Allianz Arena on November 26 to clash with the Bundesliga side.
After a poor performance against Arsenal on Tuesday night, PSG will have another chance to show they can go toe-to-toe with the heavyweight clubs on the road.
