Paris Saint-Germain secured a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash, taking a two-goal advantage into next week’s return leg in Birmingham.
Despite entering the match as underdogs, Aston Villa took a surprise early lead through Morgan Rogers. However, PSG quickly responded, with Desire Doue equalizing before half-time.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia turned the game in PSG’s favor shortly after the restart, and Nuno Mendes added a third in stoppage time to strengthen their grip on the tie.
Standout performances came from Kvaratskhelia, who was named Player of the Match, along with Vitinha and Doue. PSG’s attacking quality ultimately overwhelmed Villa, who now face an uphill battle to progress.
