Jhon Durán: The Most Lethal and Effective Colombian Who Took Down Bayern Munich
Jhon Durán can be considered one of the most lethal and, above all, effective footballers when it comes to scoring for Aston Villa. His latest performance against Bayern Munich only confirms that the Colombian is synonymous with goals, regardless of whether he comes off the bench.
How many goals does Jhon Durán have this season?
This has actually been the norm. The 20-year-old has been a substitute in eight of the nine matches he has participated in, and his offensive production numbers are out of this world.
During this streak of coming off the bench, he has taken 14 shots on goal, with six of them resulting in goals, meaning that 42% of his attempts have found the back of the net. This gives him a goal every 48 minutes on average.
He ended Bayern Munich's unbeaten run
In the 79th minute, Jhon Durán scored a goal that ended Bayern Munich's undefeated streak in the Champions League; it was a total of 42 matches without defeat until the Colombian showed up.
Jhon Durán's words after the match:
"I’m happy to have scored, especially against a great team that is one of my dream teams, and I’m thrilled to be the man of the match," he commented in a post-match interview with ESPN.
"It’s all about hard work, staying focused, waiting for the opportunity, and seizing the moment," added the forward.
Durán emphasized once again the importance of Bayern, a team he deeply admires. "Bayern is one of the great teams in Europe and, for me, it’s among the best in the world. I’m happy to have the opportunity to play against them."
Finally, he noted that not only he, but also other players on the national team, are experiencing a great moment. "We’re young, and with Yáser (Asprilla) on the team, we form a good generation that can contribute a lot to the national team," he affirmed.
