Aston Villa 3 – 2 psg

Aston Villa produced a lively return against Paris Saint-Germany in Villa Park, but it is outside the Champions League after a total defeat of 5-4.

In the face of a 3-1 deficit of the first stage, they slipped the next night at night after goals from the Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, apparently it ends any hopes of returning, but they amazed Paris Saint-Germain by withdrawing three of the four goals, which the villa crowd.

Youi Tielemans, John McGinn and Ezri Konsa are the French heroes and preferred in the competition, but the ultimate goal will not come. Marco Asensio had the clearest opportunity against his mother club, but one of them was rejected.

“We will communicate with our supporters and transfer energy,” Emery warned in advance and was not wrong. Paris Saint -Germain has been transferred to the places they did not expect, but they are leading to a semi -finals against Arsenal or Real Madrid.

For the villa, ideas are now turning into local matters and the frantic schedule that they see face Newcastle and Manchester City in the Premier League before the FA Cup semi -final against Crystal Palace. Many to be excited, but this European adventure has ended.

How did you reveal tonight to the villa?

Villa made everything they could to create an hostile atmosphere, pressed from the beginning and wasted from home support, but the assumption is that this second station was likely to depend on the first goal and PSG was the one who claimed this at the end of the first half after 11 minutes.

Mendes Bradley Parkula sent a far away and Emeliano Martinez only managed the cross in the Al -Hakami path. Half an hour ago, Villa was back again at the end of the first half, as Al -Hakimi colleague from Mendes ended in this slow step.

The night of a villa was threatening to collapse at that point, at the risk of losing the face as well as a tie, but they continued to pay and rewarded when the Telemans shot erupted to the network off the Liana Pashao. This made them at the end of the break still four in the total.

It was two goals in the quick caliphate that changed the night skin, a knockout by McGinn, followed by some magic from Marcus Rashford to create Konsa. At this point, Paris Saint -Germain seemed previously guaranteed to feel pressure.

Villa invented great opportunities in the game, but Asensio was one, at a time when the momentum with Emery’s Side was. Gianluigi Donnarom, who saved with his feet and appears to be alternatives from the side of the house, disrupts the rhythm for a period of time.

Ian Maatsen was fluent at a time of stopping, but Paris Saint -Germain stumbles on the line. The villa supporters praised their team. Their dreams were shattered, but do not feel proud. She did not win the return in the tie, but she won the leg and loved this crowd.

Emery: Psg was suffering

“On 2-0, it was the big gap, but today we competed wonderfully and it was good because the players followed the game plan, being consistent.

“They were also suffering with our deserts against them. This is the moment when we lost that last minute (target) in Paris. Today, after 3-2, the last 20 minutes were missing in that thing, pushing them and trying to make them more tired to get the result.

“Of course, we can feel happy, proud and comfortable with the work we have done. But if we want to achieve the next level, they have shown the next level here and there.

“But the supporters were enjoying it, as they moved the energy and we were very confident here and thanked me for the supporters.”

Luis Enrique: He did not dominate this method

PSG Main trainer Luis Enrique Speaking at the press conference:

“I was not happy at the end of the first half. We were playing at a level that the Champions League did not overcome. Then in the second half, we were really suffering and a villa was a tie.

“I do not think that this team was controlled by a team in this way, but the opponent had to risk because they were getting out of the competition. They attacked with real intensity and in front of a large crowd as well. We will improve with this experience.

“On 2-0 we had a villa almost on the fabric. We got to a point where it might have been very easy, and a little excessive confidence, and this gave a villa. The goal returns them to return to the game and they had nothing to lose.

“They are very strong in the air, every time they were sending balls to a box, this is not our game. We are a small team. We prefer the ball on the ground. But we passed this and I see it as a positive.”

Konsa: We wanted to prove a point

Aston Villa scorer Consa Talk to Amazon Prime:

“At the end of the first half, we felt that we had nothing to lose. We wanted to go there and prove a point. We had opportunities – I think I scored the most difficult one. I don’t think we could do that.

“We have shown that we can compete at the highest level and we want to do it again next season.”

McGin: We shortened a little

Aston Villa captain John McGin Talk to Amazon Prime:

“A clear disappointment, but I am proud of my team mates, proud of the club. We have come a long way. We were very close to. We shortened a little.

“We have had opportunities to take the game to an additional time, but we have to be proud of the way we went back against one of the best teams in the world, to fight to the end.

“We want more. We want to return here next season and we will do our best to do so.”

Marquinhos: We can go along the way

PSG captain Marquinhos Talk to Amazon Prime:

“But this is a night that they could have dreamed of four or five years ago.

“Yes, they will be disappointed, but there will be a real uproar around Aston Villa to go forward now because they can use this performance.

“If they end up to a 2-0 loss or 3-0, this affects the shape of the league or the FA Cup semi-final who came out.

“They can use the fact that in the eyes of Captain John McGin, they overcame the best team in Europe, and beat them well or even more.

“They have to take this move now.”

Analysis: Rashford gives a large stage

Sky Sports’ Louis Jones:

UNai Emery knows the player – he is one of his numerous skills as a manager. He knows that Marcus Rashford is a global operator of his day, and for this reason the Manchester United man who is lengthening over Olie Watkins is expelled from the villa line. Emery lit the fire below the midfield that occurred greatly. This performance was the best of Rashford for two years.

What he produced at this stage against the best European football team was the global level in terms of production. Rashford created most opportunities (4) and completed most of the drops (4) by any player on the field, and combines these two aspects to perfection in the creation of Ezri Konsa to send Villa Park madly from the belief that the return of all return was running. It was not supposed to eventually that the angry villa of Villa went when Rashford left for 15 minutes to go.

Wayne Rooney said to Marcus Rashford: “I should congratulate Marcus Rashford – I thought it was great,” said Wayne Rooney on Marcus Rashford. Amazon Prime.

“His talent, skills, and his ability to provoke the opponent. I hope he will return to Manchester United and play as he did today. This is what we all want to see as fans in Manchester United. He wants to play with Manchester United, 100 percent. He is a Manchester boy, but he needed to play.

“Rashford, in an ideal world, wants to play and leave a legacy in Manchester. I don’t know if possible, but this is what I would like to see.”
