- Aston Villa Vs. FC Bayern München – Wed, Oct 2nd 2024, 20:00
Unai Emery hailed a fantastic night for Aston Villa after his side beat Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.
Villa Park was rocking before during and after the game, which was settled by Jhon Durán’s second half goal.
It was a momentous night for everyone involved with the club and that was at the forefront of Emery’s thoughts.
“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 the German giants followed success against BSC Young Boys on matchday one.
Villa are now in a great position ahead of their next European game against Bologna later this month.
Emery said: “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.”
