Aston Villa came close to a remarkable comeback against PSG at Villa Park, securing a 3-2 victory in the second leg but falling short on aggregate (4-5). PSG, already 3-1 ahead from the first leg, took an early lead through Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, putting Villa in a tough position.

Despite the odds, Villa fought back with Youri Tielemans scoring before halftime and quick goals from John McGinn and Ezri Konsa in the second half. However, PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma made crucial saves to ensure their aggregate victory and progression to the next round. PSG will now advance to the semifinals, where they will meet either Real Madrid or Arsenal.
