PSG loses to Aston Villa but manages to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League
French side open up a big lead, but English respond with a great second half
Summary
A spectacular match ended with PSG qualifying for the semi-finals at Villa Park. After 27 minutes, the French side were 2-0 up on the scoreboard, but Aston Villa managed to turn the game around early in the second half. Despite putting on a lot of pressure and creating some great chances, the English side were unable to pull off the defeat and had to settle for the applause.
In two very well-timed counterattacks, PSG opened up an advantage. At 10 minutes, Barcola came free on the left, crossed, and Dibu poorly cleared the ball. Hakimi appeared as a surprise element in the middle and scored a beautiful goal. At 26 minutes, in another quick transition from defense to attack, Dembélé made a beautiful pass at the edge of the area, and Nuno Mendes, who had already participated in the first goal, appeared to hit it perfectly.
