Paris Saint-Germain opened up a two-goal aggregate lead over Aston Villa at the halfway stage of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Despite entering the game in the French capital as considerable underdogs, Villa boasted an impressive streak of seven consecutive victories. Morgan Rogers unexpectedly provided Unai Emery’s side with an early lead.
However, their advantage was short-lived, as Desire Doue equalized before the break. Just after halftime, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia quickly shifted the game’s momentum.
In stoppage time, Nuno Mendes secured PSG’s third goal, solidifying the victory and positioning them as strong contenders to advance before next week’s return match in Birmingham.
