PSG advances to the UCL semi-finals after beating Aston Villa
Paris Saint-Germain continues their impressive 2024-25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) run with quarter-final wins in two legs against Aston Villa. The English club tried their best to mount a comeback from 1-3 down after the first leg, but a 3-2 scoreline in the second leg was not enough to upset PSG, who won on a 5-4 aggregate.
The Parisian club will now move on to the semi-finals with solid momentum. They have played extremely well in recent months due to their versatile attack, headlined by names like Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Villa exit the UCL with their heads held high
Despite the loss, manager Unai Emery and the rest of Aston Villa are proud of their performance. It was an impressive run, considering this was Villa’s first Champions League run since the 1982/83 season.
He said, ‘Our squad showed it can respond at this level. We competed. They deserve to be here. We are ambitious. It is a big challenge and we want the club to push for this level’.
It was a fantastic tie between two strong clubs, but PSG won, and they are looking to win that elusive Champions League title.
