MATCH TIMELINE
Wednesday, 9 April 2025
↔️ | 3’ Very high and very wide from Ousmane Dembélé
⛔ | 6’ Easy save from a Vitinha shot for Emi Martínez
⛔ | 9’ Save from Martínez for Dembélé’s shot after Kvaratskhelia tangles in the box with Boubacar
🗒️ | 12’ All PSG but no huge threat yet
❗ | 14’ First Villa attack as Youri Tielemans delivers the ball in and Donnarumma flaps unconvincingly and PSG scramble it away
⛔ | 16’ Save from Martínez as Hakimi breaks through, referee Mariani awards a goal kick rather than the corner it was
🟨 | 17’ Booking, Matty Cash, another foul on Kvaratskhelia ends in a caution
⛔ | 18’ Save from Martínez as Hakimi fires in from the resultant free kick
💥 | 20’ Lucas Digne clatters Désiré Doué, Cash’s card won’t be the last of the night for Villa
🗒️ | 23’ Morgan Rogers breaks forward and passes to Marcus Rashford but PSG snuff it out
↔️ | 23’ Vitinha curls one in but it’s over despite Emi Martínez’s acrobatics
🚑 | 23’ Jacob Ramsey down, surely he’s not injured again
🚑 | 25’ Jacob Ramsey continues
🗒️ | 25’ Still all PSG but one Villa attack shows they can be picked off if they’re contained, Villa are living on the edge though
❗ | 25’ Chance! John McGinn wide over from well outside the box
⛔ | 27’ Good block prevents Nuno Mendes shot troubling Martínez
🗒️ | 30’ The PSG full backs are running this, two clever managers facing off here, but still there hasn’t been that huge chance that probably would have been expected by now, Villa need to keep their discipline for Unai to readjust at the break
🗒️ | 32’ Villa with their first spell of possession but it is all very moderated, no gung ho football here
⚽ | 35’ Goal, 1-0, Morgan Rogers, Assist by Youri Tielemans
🗒️ | Villa score from their second real attack as they hit PSG on the break just as has been done to Emery’s side this season, John McGinn is the star as his midfield strength takes hold of play and sets Youri off
💥 | 39’ A PSG corner and Emi Martínez does a Donnarumma and flaps but Villa get it away
🥅 | 39’ Goal, 1-1, (Paris Saint Germain), Désiré Doué
🗒️ | Martínez beaten by a once in a million shot from Doué, really bad luck for that to come in a game like this, all stemming from Martínez’s flap
⛔ | 44’ Another Doué shot and Martínez fumbles again, he’s looking falliable
↔️ | 44’ Doué again, this time over
↔️ | 45’+1 Doué again, this time it’s blocked… that’s the problem with a wonder goal, it changes your entire mindset, Villa need to get in level, adjust and refocus
🕒 | 45’+2 Paris Saint Germain 1-1 Aston Villa
🗒️ | A wobbly end to a very well managed first half, all square only because of a wonder strike
🔁 | 46’ Sub off, Matty Cash, Sub on, Axel Disasi
⛔ | 47’ Dembélé shot blocked
⛔ | 48’ Dembélé shot blocked again
🥅 | 49’ Goal, 1-2, (Paris Saint Germain), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
🗒️ | A fast break does for Villa just as it did for PSG, Disasi wasn’t quite on it and Martínez probably didn’t react as well as we know he can but it’s another crazily good goal
⛔ | 56’ Kvaratskhelia shot blocked
↔️ | 56’ Pacho heads over from a PSG corner
🗒️ | To stay in the tie would be some achievement from here, home advantage, an expensive squad but more importantly pacy, direct running - the antithesis of Pep-ball - is running Villa ragged
⛔ | 58’ An excellent save from Emi Martínez, without doubt his best of the night, thwarts Hakimi
🔁 | 59’ Sub off, Jacob Ramsey, Sub on, Marco Asensio
🗒️ | A bit surprised at that sub, risks a looser midfield set up….
🆘 | Ridiculous penalty appeal from PSG, no need for that, Disasi - who has been targeted since coming on - is on the ground as the ball hits his arm and he’s unable to move… they’re better than that
⛔ | 66’ Emi Martínez saves from centre back Lucas Beraldo
🗒️ | 70’ gone, one goal down, Villa would take this all day long
❗ | 72’ Chance! A rare Villa attack and Donnarumma saves Morgan Rogers shot from John McGinn’s ball
🗒️ | 75’ Apart from an offside strike PSG have had a quiet 15’
⛔ | 75’ Kvaratskhelia shot blocked
🆘 | Another Ridiculous penalty appeal from PSG as Kvaratskhelia runs into Pau Torres and falls over, not a great look that
🗒️ | 80’ PSG winning successive corners
🔁 | 79’ Sub off, Marcus Rashford, Sub on, Ollie Watkins
🔁 | 80’ Sub off, John McGinn, Sub on, Amadou Onana
🔁 | 80’ Sub off, Youri Tielemans, Sub on, Ian Maatsen
❗ | 81’ Chance! Marco Asensio deflected wide from Amadou Onana’s pass
❗ | 82’ Chance! Axel Disasi heads wide from a corner
❗ | 87’ Chance! Amadou Onana wide
⛔ | 89’ Zaïre-Emery shot blocked
🗒️ | 90’ Time nearly up but Villa do love an injury time concession, 3’ of injury time
🗒️ | 90’ Onana, excellent since he came on, wins a foul off Kvaratskhelia
❗ | 90’+1 Chance! Morgan Rogers wide from Ollie Watkins’ ball after Martínez takes a quick free kick
🥅 | 90’+2 Goal, 1-3, (Paris Saint Germain), Nuno Mendes
🗒️ | Cruel, cruel luck, against the last 10’ run of play but in truth that reflects the superiority in Paris tonight, Villa will be devastated though, at 1-2 next week was going to be very different. Now, unless PSG don’t travel well, Villa’s Champions League journey ends at the Quarter Final stage
⛔ | 90’+4 Nearly 4, finger tip save from Martínez to thwart Zaïre-Emery
🕒 | 90’+4 Paris Saint Germain 3-1 Aston Villa
🗒️ | Villa outplayed but not outclassed, too much going for PSG tonight but it took two wondergoals and a very fortunate late strike to put the tie almost out of reach
