Jhon Duran's superb finish at Villa Park saw the h꧟ꦕosts claim all three points in Wednesday's Champions League encounter.

It was just the second meeting between Villa and Bayern, with the first having come b𒉰ack in the 1982 European Cup final, which the English team won 1-0.

Bayern had their chances, though, having 17 shots, getting seven on target and mustering 1.42 expected goals (xG), with Emiliano Martinez making a string of fine stops late on.

"We missed some big chances and they scored the chance. We've got to take the learnings from this," said Kompany after sufferi♊ng his first defeat as Bayern head coach.

"When we h🌺ave the ball, we're ꦓdangerous, but they're a strong team, this isn't an easy place. It wasn't a bad performance.

"If you don't take your chances, it can happen.

"We had big chances, we didn't score them. We gave away a mome💎nt and in that moment obviously Villa sc💦ored a goal.

"I unde💮rstand the occasion it was for the opponent🌊 and it was a special night for them."

Villa became the secondﷺ English side to win their first two Champions League games (since 🅘1992-93), after Leicester City in 2016-17.
