Unai Emery goes viral with his reaction to Bayern Munich staff moaning to the officials during Aston Villa’s Champions League win.
Bayern complained when they hadn’t been given a penalty for the ball hitting Konsa’s elbow in the box at point black while it was at his side.
They tried to vent outrage at seeing a decision not go their way, Emery wasn’t impressed, walked on over and made a hand gesture telling them to stop complaining.
Unai Emery was not afraid to say how he felt 😂🤫

Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez speaking to TNT Sports: “It’s unreal to be fair. This is the loudest Villa Park that I’ve heard since I joined the club, that’s for sure, it was hurting my ears at some point. It’s a club that is moving forward. It’s the main reason why I stay in this football club. I love playing here, I love the fans, this is a win for them.”
On Harry Kane: “You know with Harry Kane, you know that he’s always going to hit on target at some point in the game so I’ve working a lot with moving and making saves.”
On defence: “We are committed [more] defensively Champions League, we need to transmit that into the Premier League now, we are conceding some sloppy goals in the Premier League, we need to find that balance, we know we can keep clean sheets so we move on from here.”
On Jhon Duran: “He came back with a different mentality this season. He’s willing to work hard, he’s pushing Ollie 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.”
On the result: “It’s a statement, there’s still a lot to play. We want to qualify in the first eight, in the top eight, it’s one step at a time, we’ve got Bologna at home now in our second game, we are probably more relaxed but we want to win every game.”

Villa forward Morgan Rogers told TNT Sports: “Surreal – the atmosphere, the occasion, playing one of the biggest teams in world and competing like this.”
On his rise: “Been a bit mad, that’s how quick football can change. I’ve always believed in myself. Be patient and the time will come. Luckily I found a manager who believed in me.
“I was probably in my shell when I came, trying to fit in. He gives me that confidence and belief in my ability.
“We knew they were going to have more of the ball so it was about trying to hit them on the counter.
“It was about allowing them to have the ball in certain areas but when it’s in midfield we have to be at it.
“This is why I play football. This is the pinnacle, it means everything to me. It’s a pinch me moment but I have no time to sit and dwell on it.”
On the dressing room: “Wild. Madness. it was a bit crazy but then the manager started talking about Wednesday.”
On Jhon Duran: “When he came to the club I didn’t have a clue he was 20. The way he plays, he’s such a handful for defenders. When he comes on with all that energy. He knows he’ll get that chance and backs himself 100%. He’s a great lad.
“Every game is exactly the same. He’s the most chilled, relaxed person I’ve ever met. He’s a different animal when he’s playing.”
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery told TNT Sports: “We want to be consistent to play in Europe [regularly].”
On Jhon Duran: “We are working with him. Most important is his attitude. He’s available to play 90, 60, 30 minutes. He’s been focusing each minute he’s playing. Today we had two very good strikers. It’s fantastic for him and the team.
“Against teams like that, it’s very important to be strong. Martinez did an amazing job, amazing saves.
“We have to try to play each match. We compete very well, we won. Maybe we can get the first eight positions.”
He said, per the club website: “I’m very happy for our supporters and everyone at Aston Villa – coaches, owners, supporters, workers – to share days like today, playing at this level in the Champions League against Bayern Munich and winning.
“The most important thing is how we competed and how we prepared the game plan, how we were transmitting our energy to the supporters and their energy to us.
“We tried to create a great atmosphere here in Villa Park and it was a moment I want to live and I can enjoy it when I have a day like today.
“We have six points and it’s very important. We still have six matches and 18 points to play for.
“We have to try to prepare the next match against Bologna here at home and keep going, increasing our level, our demands and our improvements with the team.
“We have to focus on preparing the match on Sunday, a huge match here at Villa Park. We have to perform consistently.”
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany talking to TNT Sports: “We missed some big chances and they scored the chance. We’ve got to take the learnings from this.
“Ollie Watkins has so many qualities to mention but one of his qualities is to split the two centre backs.
“When we have the ball, we’re dangerous, but they’re a strong team, this isn’t an easy place. It wasn’t a bad performance.
“It’s the same job everywhere. It’s a privilege, so much history. You work with top players but in the end, I can’t score the goals.
“Obviously I knew Kane from playing against him, but he’s evolved. I don’t think he’s ever someone who’s ever stood still.”
“We tried to sign a lot of players at Burnley” 👀
