The Colombian Jhon Jáder Durán has not had the minutes he expected at Aston Villa, but every time he came on, it was important for the team’s campaign, which achieved a historic milestone: he has already secured a place in the 2024-25 edition of the Liga de Champions.
The match that practically sealed the fight for fourth place was the consecration of Durán, who came on in the final minutes and scored two goals to tie the game against Liverpool at Anfield Road: Aston Villa lost 3-1 and in the end, tied three goals, this Monday.
Qualification was sealed thanks to Manchester City’s victory on Tuesday at Tottenham’s home (0-2), a result that also left those led by Josep Guardiola at the top of the championship with one date remaining.

“We are working a lot with him. I know he is going to score and get opportunities to use his power,” Emery insisted.
Durán has only played 1,007 minutes for Aston Villa this season, in 33 appearances. But he has managed to score eight goals, five in the Premier and three in the Conference League, in which the club reached the semifinals.
Jhon Durán scored Aston Villa’s best goal of the season
Now, Durán received another distinction: his goal was chosen by Aston Villa fans as the team’s best of the season. The club itself made the announcement on its social networks.
The goal chosen by Villa fans was scored on September 16 of last year, in the match that his team won 3-1 against Crystal Palace. He scored in the 87th minute to achieve a partial tie and kick off an incredible comeback, which was achieved with two goals in added time.
