The fiercely competitive Birmingham "Aston Villa" team had the opportunity to extend at least to extra time in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal series.

However, the English team fell short by one goal – a 3:2 victory was not enough to eliminate the PSG team.

Luis Enrique's side triumphed in the series with an aggregate score of 5:4.

The match in England began with a goal from the visitors – during a counterattack, A. Hakimi directed the ball into the net (0:1).

PSG had no intention of stopping – in the 27th minute, during a quick break, N. Mendes doubled the score (0:2).

However, "Aston Villa" was not willing to lay down their arms.

Initially, Y. Tielemans scored a peculiar goal, reducing the deficit to 1:2. In the 55th minute, J. McGinn leveled the match with a fantastic strike (2:2).

Finally, in the 57th minute, E. Konsa gave the hosts a fragile lead – 3:2.

"Aston Villa" still attempted to score an equalizer in the series, but PSG managed to defend successfully.
