In the second round of the Champions League, the 20-year-old Colombian forward Duran once again made an impact as a substitute, ultimately helping Villa secure a surprising 1-0 home victory over Bayern Munich. Now, Duran is making headlines in the sports sections of major British media outlets.
The Guardian, Daily Express, and Daily Star all refer to him as the “super sub (SUPERSUB).” He almost guarantees a goal whenever he steps onto the pitch, and every goal he scores is spectacular. His lob against world-class goalkeeper Manuel Neuer at home even had Prince William jumping in excitement. Today, John Duran is Colombia’s superstar in European football.
Statistics show that Duran has made nine appearances for Villa this season, starting only in the League Cup match against Wycombe Wanderers. In the other eight games, he came on as a substitute. In those eight substitute appearances, totaling just 207 minutes on the field, he scored five goals, averaging one goal every 41.4 minutes.
In the highly anticipated Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, Duran scored just nine minutes after coming on as a substitute. This goal has elevated him to a godlike status in today’s British media, as it ended Bayern’s 41-match unbeaten streak in the Champions League group stages.
