A system malfunction caused the wrong anthem to be played before Aston Villa's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris St-Germain at Villa Park. The Europa League anthem was initially played before being switched to the correct Champions League anthem due to an automated system crash. Players reacted with confusion and amusement as the incorrect anthem played, but there are no Uefa regulations specifying sanctions for such errors.
Despite the anthem mishap, PSG ultimately progressed to the next round with a 5-4 aggregate victory over Villa, who made a spirited but ultimately unsuccessful comeback after falling 2-0 behind. The match saw Unai Emery's side emerge victorious with a 3-2 win in the second leg.
