Jhon Durán invites Thierry Henry to Medellín after Aston Villa's win over Bayern Munich
Colombian forward Jhon Durán of Aston Villa is making waves with his scoring ability, recently netting a goal against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. This achievement has garnered significant admiration from fans and media alike.
During a recent discussion, Thierry Henry, along with his CBS Sports colleagues, praised the 20-year-old for his performance as he played a pivotal role in his team's victory. When asked about his favorite team, Durán enthusiastically replied, "Atlético Nacional." Henry expressed his fondness for Medellín, stating, "I love Medellín; I've been there; it's an incredible city." In a lighthearted moment, Durán invited Henry to visit during the holidays, which led to laughter among the panel.
Kate Scott, the program's host, then asked if the other panelists could join the trip to Medellín, but Durán humorously clarified that his invitation was exclusively for Henry.
Durán's Impressive Season Statistics
Despite being a substitute in eight out of nine matches this season, Durán's offensive stats are remarkable. He has taken 14 shots, with six finding the back of the net, giving him a conversion rate of 42% and an impressive goal every 48 minutes.
Ending Bayern Munich's Streak
Durán's goal in the 79th minute not only secured the victory for Aston Villa but also ended Bayern Munich's 42-match unbeaten run in the Champions League.
