Robert Lewandowski (66 mins)
Told you a third was coming!
This is a brilliant counter-attacking move as Lamine Yamal sends through Fermin Lopez down the right, and the forward cuts the ball back for Robert Lewandowski who drills a shot into the bottom corner.
Party time.

So close! Barcelona want three. Fermine Lopez drives a shot across goal which strikes the outside of the post.
Moments later and Lopez has another chance but his shot is blocked by Emre Can.
Only a matter of time before a third.
Barcelona 2-0 Borussia Dortmund
Wojciech Szczesny gets a huge roar as he fake-passes which helps him get past the pressing Maximilian Beier.
"Szczesny. Szczesny." chant the Barca fans.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is almost unplayable. Axel Disasi is nowhere near him.
Disasi is giving him far too much room and space.
Paris St-Germain 2-1 Aston Villa
PSG appeal for a penalty as the ball hits the arm of the sliding Axel Disasi, but his arm was on the ground and he couldn't move it out of the way. No penalty.

Aston Villa have done incredible to get this far, but this is a step too far for them. This game would be out of Villa's sight if PSG had a clinical front line.

Dortmund have to be more compact. They certainly can't lose the ball like we've seen previously. They have to be secure with the ball in the centre of the park.
I'd almost be shutting up shop if I were Niko Kovac. I'd be pushing eight back [in defence] because if this goes to three, the game has gone. With two, you've got a chance.
Paris St-Germain 2-1 Aston Villa
A change for Villa as Marco Asensio, who is on loan from PSG, comes on for Jacob Ramsey. Asensio will have a point to prove and has half an hour to do it.

Excellent save by Emi Martinez. A big strong hand and he pushed it away from danger. A good save by the Aston Villa goalkeeper.
If Aston Villa get out of here tonight losing by one goal - that's a real result.

Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
Aston Villa are starting to get stretched now. PSG’s intensity is incredible - they are just relentless with their movement and that has drained Villa's energy levels. They are hanging on at 2-1, but the bad news is they still have more than half an hour to go.
You can hear more from Warnock on MOTD: Uefa Champions League at 22:40 BST on BBC One and the BBC Sport website and app.
Paris St-Germain 2-1 Aston Villa
A brilliant save from Emiliano Martinez, down to his right one handed at the end of another delightful PSG move, that had been started by more fine work from firstly Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and then Desire Doue as PSG broke at lightning pace.
Barcelona 2-0 Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund are struggling to get going. Substitute Maximillian Beier is tackled in midfield by a covering Lamine Yamal.
Paris St-Germain 2-1 Aston Villa
Villa are being overrun at the moment. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia hits a strike first time, but Villa can deflect it away for a corner and that comes to nothing.
Villa may well be happy with just the one-goal deficit to take back to the second leg in Birmingham next week the way this is going.

I think early on in the campaign, Hansi Flick's high line was more visible. Barcelona certainly haven't played that way tonight. They've given themselves a few more yards and they've looked more secure.

That goal by Kvaratskhelia is totally what football is about. Speedy break away. Direct running. All out attack. Forget all of these sideways pre-determined passing in a chess like game. Playing with pace and freedom. Great, great goal.

Last ditch defending from Villa already. Axel Disasi has struggled since he come on. He's not got the pace of the game. He has given away possession on numerous occasions already.
There's no respite for Aston Villa, they can't keep possession. They're getting overpowered and over-played in every single area of the pitch.
Barcelona 2-0 Borussia Dortmund
I guess the one good thing for Borussia Dortmund is that there's still over 120 minutes left in this tie.
No need to panic just yet. Jamie Gittens gets on the ball in the final third but then misplaces a simple pass.

It’s a brilliant finish by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but I don’t think your keeper should be beaten at his near post like that.

Again, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, brilliant down the left-hand-side. It is a finish of high quality. Axel Disasi gives him far too much room and space.
Kvaratskhelia hits a high shot into the roof of the net.

The trident up top are all involved in the goal. It comes from sloppy Dortmund play in the centre of the pitch. I think it was Chukwuemeka with the flick, he loses the ball, and Pedri is onto it. Yamal finds Raphinha, who does the unselfish thing, heads the ball back across goal and Lewandowski has one of the easiest finishes he'll have.
Barca are in cruise control.

UEFA Champions League
All competitions
Paris SG and Aston Villa will meet for the first time in European competition, with this just the second UEFA Champions League quarter-final between French and English sides in the last eight campaigns (Manchester City 1-3 Lyon in the only leg in 2019-20).
Paris SG eliminated Liverpool in the last 16 of this season’s UEFA Champions League, after having exited the competition in each of their last three knockout stage meetings with English sides (v Man City in 2015-16 and 2020-21, and Man Utd in 2018-19).
Aston Villa have never won away to a French opponent in European competition (P5 D2 L3); their most away to teams from one nation without winning. The last two have both been defeats under Unai Emery, losing at Lille in April 2024 (1-2) and at Monaco in January this year (0-1).
Aston Villa will be the fourth different English team that Paris SG have faced in the UEFA Champions League this season (also Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool). This is the joint-most opponents from one nation that a team have played against in a single European Cup/Champions League campaign, along with Leeds United in 2000-01 (four Spanish sides) and Real Madrid in 2023-24 (four German sides).
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has won just two of his 10 games against Luis Enrique as a manager (D1 L7), with both wins coming in home fixtures. Indeed, this will be the first time they’ve faced each other since the 2016-17 campaign, when Luis Enrique’s Barcelona came from 0-4 down in the first leg to eliminate Emery’s Paris SG side in the UEFA Champions League last 16 (6-1 win in the second leg).
Paris SG have the fifth-youngest starting XI on average in the UEFA Champions League this season (24y 242d), and the youngest of any team remaining in the 2024-25 tournament.
52% of Aston Villa’s chances created in the UEFA Champions League this season have come from the middle third of the pitch (left/middle/right); the highest percentage of any side. Meanwhile, Unai Emery’s team have conceded the fewest overall chances from the middle third this term (12).
Ousmane Dembélé has netted seven goals in his last six UEFA Champions League games for Paris SG, one more than in his previous 36 appearances in the competition combined (6). Six of those seven goals have been scored in away matches, however.
Paris SG’s Vitinha has completed 93% of his passes made under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (544/586); the highest completion rate of any midfielder in the competition (min. 100 attempted). The Portuguese also leads all players for line-breaking passes in the knockout stages of the current tournament (77).
Marco Asensio has scored three goals in two UEFA Champions League appearances for Aston Villa (both as a substitute), after failing to score in 10 games for former club Paris SG in the competition. If he finds the net in this game, 2024-25 would be his best ever return in a single Champions League campaign (currently on three).
