00:00Aston Villa threatened to pull off a stunning comeback against Paris ST Germain before going
00:04out of the Champions League on a dramatic night at Villa Park. Villa were attempting to overturn
00:10a 3-1 deficit to reach the semi-final but their hopes looked in tatters when they were two goals
00:14down inside the first half hour. Akraf Hakimi cashed in on Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez's
00:20mistake to put PSG ahead, then Nuno Mendes doubled the French side's lead to leave Villa
00:25needing to score at least four goals. In a thunderous Villa Park atmosphere, Unai Emery's
00:30team refused to yield and launched a magnificent response to put this hugely talented PSG side
00:35on the rack. Uri Tealmans pulled one back after 34 minutes with a deflected shot before a second
00:41half of pure theatre unfolded in front of frenzied Villa Park. Villa struck twice in two minutes to
00:47spark hopes of a remarkable revival, John McGinn scoring from 20 yards after 55 minutes before
00:52defender Ezri Kansa put them ahead on the night after fantastic work by Marcus Rashford.
00:57And, as Villa's belief grew, it took three crucial saves from PSG keeper John Luigi Donnarumma to stop
01:03them drawing level in the tie. He dived high to his left to magnificently claw away Rashford's rising
01:08drive, then somehow turned out Tealman's header before saving at the feet of substitute Marco
01:13Asensio. PSG managed to regain a measure of composure to hold on and will meet Arsenal or Real Madrid in
01:19the semi-final.
