Dibu Martínez saves the tie!

The Argentine has used his reflexes on the line.

PSG tries a quick reply, having received a slap in the face.

ASTON VILLA GOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!!

The surprise occurs in Paris.

First time lucky

Despite PSG's stifling possession, Aston Villa managed to string together their first extended possession. They resolved that agony, and Morgan Rogers, at the far post, came in alone to beat Donnarumma. They didn't deserve it based on what they showed, but football only knows facts.

The pressure from Parisians is suffocating.

Aston Villa now came alive with a fairly long possession, although the move was fruitless.

The Villains are very deep. So much so that their most advanced player never reaches the height of the midfield gap.

First ten minutes of the match with clear dominance and siege by PSG.

Save from Draw Martínez to Dembélé!

And in the previous action they were asking for a penalty on Kvaratskhelia.

Now Vitinha has a chance, which Dibu Martínez blocked.

PSG and Aston Villa Clash in Champions League Quarterfinal Opener

We’re examining PSG’s path to this stage. The French giants advanced past Liverpool in a dramatic round of 16 tie, defined by a penalty shootout victory after a 2-2 aggregate draw. Gianluigi Donnarumma’s heroics—saving two penalties—and a series of near-misses, including shots off the woodwork, kept their campaign alive despite an uneven performance. Sitting second in Ligue 1 with 63 points (19W-6D-3L) after a 2-1 win over Lyon on April 6, Luis Enrique’s squad relies on Kylian Mbappé (if still with PSG) and Vitinha to assert dominance at the Parc des Princes, where they’ve won their last five European home games.
