Aston Villa fall agonisingly short with epic PSG comeback to exit Champions League
Fairytale campaign ends at quarter-final stage but Unai Emery’s inspired side can holds their heads high
Paris Saint-Germain caused their travelling support plenty of stress as they came uncomfortably close to squandering a huge advantage over Aston Villa in a Champions League thriller.
The reigning French champions lost a pulsating quarter-final second leg 3-2 on the night at Villa Park but still progressed to the last four 5-4 on aggregate.
Or so it would seem. Youri Tielemans pulled one back before the break, though what seemed to be a mere consolation goal would soon trigger a considerable revolt.
