Image source, Getty ImagesAston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to Amazon Prime: "Good evening. I am very proud of everything. Getting to this level is the next step forward, I want to try to win with Aston Villa. We played two legs, we competed well and it wasn't even. Today we competed better and we were close to the result. I want to try to work for my next process at Aston Villa. The crowd was fantastic, they gave us energy. Even at 2-0. Still, a little bit more to do better to try to get it.
"Every player at this level has a huge level to play and to try and be a protagonist. We were a protagonist as well with our skills. We were focused on our game plan. I was thinking only to play out game plan and be consistent. We were attacking and those transitions, they were clinical. We knew it. We tried to avoid transition and today we took the new game plan and were pushing more.
"It is now most important to get Europe again. The most important competition is the Champions League. The challenge we have for the last six matches is to try and get Europe and the Champions League.
On Rashford: "It is difficult to plan it now. He is feeling better and he played a fantastic match. We are very happy. If he is happy, we are happy. It depends on the circumstances for now and the next weeks."
'Emery can be proud'published at 22:52 British Summer Time
FT: Aston Villa 3-2 PSG ( agg 4-5)
Wayne Rooney
Former Man Utd striker on Amazon PrimeI don't think you can have regrets.
I think when he [Unai Emery] sits them players down and reflects on the game he will point out the two goals because the defending was nowhere near good enough and that is what's cost them.
But he can be proud of the fight back that they nearly made and the campaign that they have had in the Champions League.

This is going to be a very interesting Champions League semi-final and final. PSG aiming to win their first Champions League, Barcelona aiming to win their first Champions League for 10 years, most likely Arsenal aiming to also win their first Champions League and Inter Milan aiming to win their first Champions League for a while or Bayern Munich with Harry Kane’s first major trophy. A nice change from the usual bunch!

Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveI wonder whether this might come a year too early for PSG. They're needing to understand how to control games. Defensively, we have seen vulnerabilities.
When you look at Inter Milan on a balance of attack and defence they look to have got that right.
'Enrique has done a great job'published at 22:48 British Summer Time

PSG
Image source, Getty ImagesPSG boss Luis Enrique, speaking to Amazon Prime: "I think so, simple as that. We cannot forget, this is the Champions League and the other team has a lot of quality. Aston Villa played with a lot of intensity. The whole two matches, we deserved to win.
"The second year in a row in the semi-finals and we want to go into the next phase.
"I think have the best squad in the world, not only the best goalkeeper. You have a lot of quality players at a club like PSG. That's football and that's competition.
Nervous when 2-0 down?: "At that point, they didn't have anything to lose because they lost the first match and at half-time in the first half. The atmosphere in the stadium was very nice."

It is very positive and they will be happy that they're through.

John McGinn played for us in the Championship. Ezri Konsa was almost relegated with us in 2020. Both have just scored for the Villa in a Champions League quarter-final. Club legends.

Former Aston Villa winger on Amazon PrimeRashford just wants to play football. He's come on loan and done so well. His confidence is coming back and maybe he's pushing to get to a club like Aston Villa and pushing Manchester United to let him go.

Aston Villa's John McGinn, speaking to TNT Sports: "Obvious disappointment but I am proud of my team-mates, proud of the club. We have come a long way. We were so, so close tonight. We just fell a little bit short. We had chances to take the game to extra-time but we've got to be proud about the way we come back against one of the best teams in the world, to fight to the end.
"We want more. We want to be back here next season and we will try our best to do that."
On Unai Emery's half-time talk: "He said 'I'm proud of the performance, keep going, you just never know'. We never gave up. It was chaos, but we gave absolutely everything and I think every Aston Villa supporter will leave with a huge sense of pride."
On Paris St-Germain: "I've never played against Real Madrid or Barcelona, but in my career they're the best team I have faced. I'm getting old and I certainly wouldn't like to play against them every week."

Dion Dublin
Former Aston Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveMarcus Rashford didn't score, but the energy levels that he had. He was making those defenders make mistakes.
We have seen an inkling in what they can do and how sharp they can be. However, I believe there was a bit more that Villa could have done if they had gone with two up-top.

Image source, Getty ImagesBrilliant from Villa but shocking substitutions from Emery. Should never have taken off Rashford and McGinn. Villa on fire at 3-2, but didn't look the same after the substitutions.
Colin, Flackwell Heath
You need a goal and you remove the best player in the game. Removing Rashford was a mistake for Emery.

It just shows what a hammer blow that late third goal in Paris was last week. Without that...

Borussia DortmundBorussia Dortmund midfielder Pascal Gross, speaking to TNT Sports: "We knew we had a tough result from the away game but everything is possible in this stadium. We knew we had to be brave and play forward. One goal was a little bit unfortunate and it killed the momentum but we kept going and scored a third one. It was a good performance.
"I tried to get in front of him, I know he's going down and I tried to get my body between the ball and the keeper. You never know if you're offside with them but I wasn't so it was a penalty.
"It was not enough today but today was a good game."

FT: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Barcelona (agg 3-5)
Serhou Guirassy couldn't have done much more tonight as he became the fifth player to score a Champions League hat-trick against Barcelona.
Those three goals have put him in the outright lead at the top of the scoring chart.

For all the attacking talent from PSG it was Donnarumma who won them the tie tonight. Villa desperately unlucky. What an effort and what a showing.

Match Facts
Aston Villa have lost three of their four games against French sides in European competition under Unai Emery, with all three of those defeats coming in succession (1-2 v Lille, 0-1 v Monaco, and 1-3 v Paris SG). Their one victory did come in the only one of these four played at Villa Park, however, beating Lille 2-1 in April 2024 (UEFA Conference League).
Of the seven previous occasions when Paris SG have won the first leg of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage tie by 2+ goals, the French side have been eliminated on three occasions. Should they fail to progress here, they’ll have been eliminated from more European Cup/UEFA Champions League knockout stage ties having had a 2+ goal lead from the first leg than any other team (4).
Aston Villa’s defeat against Paris SG in the reverse fixture was the third time they’ve lost by 2+ goals in the first leg of a knockout stage tie in major European competition, while they failed to progress in each of the previous two instances (on aggregate: 1-5 v Royal Antwerp in 1975-76 in the UEFA Cup and 2-6 v Olympiakos last season in the UEFA Conference League).
Paris SG have only won four of their 17 away games against English teams in European competition (D4 L9). One of those victories did come in the most recent one (1-0 v Liverpool in March), however, ending a run of four straight defeats in such fixtures.
Since the start of the 2022-23 season, Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has only lost one of his 13 home matches in major European competition as a manager, while winning 11 of them (D1). His only defeat in this run came in May 2024 against Olympiakos (2-4 in the UEFA Conference League semi-final, first leg).
Paris SG have averaged 11.2 high turnovers per game in the UEFA Champions League this season; their most in a single edition on record (since 2012-13). They’ve also recorded 36 shot-ending high turnovers in 2024-25, which is more than they had in the previous three editions combined (28).
Paris SG have four different players who’ve been directly involved in 5+ goals in the UEFA Champions League this season, in Ousmane Dembélé (9), Achraf Hakimi (6), Bradley Barcola (6) and Désiré Doué (5). They’ve never previously had more players do so in a single edition, while they have three players currently on four goal involvements (Gonçalo Ramos, Fabián Ruiz, and Nuno Mendes).
Morgan Rogers has been directly involved in six goals for Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League this season (four goals, two assists). Only two English players aged under-23 have ever had more goal involvements in a single edition of the competition: Jude Bellingham (9) and Bukayo Saka (8), both in 2023-24.
Paris SG midfielder João Neves has applied more high-intensity pressures than any other midfielder in the UEFA Champions League this season (651), while his 42 tackles are the most by a midfielder in a single edition of the competition since Real Madrid’s Casemiro in 2017-18 (45).
Youri Tielemans leads all Aston Villa players in the UEFA Champions League this season for passes completed (534) and line-breaking passes (104), as well as possession recoveries (45) and tackles (19).
