Paris Saint-Germain staged a thrilling comeback to defeat Aston Villa 3-1 in their Champions League quarterfinal first leg, putting themselves in a strong position to reach the last four.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, shocked the home crowd when Morgan Rogers broke the deadlock in the first half. However, PSG, fresh off securing the Ligue 1 title, responded emphatically in the second half. Désiré Doué leveled the score before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes sealed the victory with two more goals.
PSG dominated possession and imposed their high-pressing, technical style, leaving Villa struggling to keep up. The English side, coming into the match on a seven-game winning streak, must now produce a much-improved performance in the second leg at Villa Park next Tuesday to keep their European dreams alive.
