The 1-0 win means Villa are in a great spot in the new, large group stage format of the competition.

Post-game, Martinez told reporters about Duran: "He came back with a different mentality this season. 

“He's willing to work hard, he's pushing Ollie (Watkins) all the way, they can play together he's a super sub.

“The first time he touched the ball, he lobbed Neuer, one of the best goals in history.”
