Aston Villa claim HISTORIC win over Bayern Munich in just second Champions League appearance since 1983

The forward confidently lifted the ball over Manuel Neuer, who was unfortunately caught in no man’s land. Despite the goal, most of the credit for the win went to Emiliano Martinez, who made more than 3 unbelievable saves throughout the game.

He was seen ecstatically banging his hands on the floor and overcome by emotion as the referee blew his whistle at full-time.

From avoiding relegation to beating Bayern, here’s how Unai Emery transformed The Villans

A proud Unai Emery spoke to reporters as the Spaniard revelled in the wake of the historic result. Fans and social media pages were quick to point out that the club were in the relegation zone when Aston Villa appointed Emery around two years ago. However, after months of being mocked as a manager, especially for his time at Arsenal, he has now transformed the identity of Aston Villa completely.

Surprisingly, it was Emery who orchestrated Bayern’s last two group stage losses in recent times, the first one being 41 matches before.

We are very happy, very proud. Facing one of the best teams in the world and then winning, this is the way we want to go. A lot of things were emotionally very important.

Unai Emery told reporters

Emery also reminisced how his side beat Bayern back in the 1982/93 edition as well as fans expressed their love for the manager on social media. Emery has done magical things at the club as they currently sit in sixth position after picking up six points from their first two games.
