Paris St-Germain 1-1 Aston Villa
What a player Desire Doue is. He has one goal and almost gets another, only for Emiliano Martinez to get his hands up in time to parry the strike.

Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Last few minutes of the first half. Fermin Lopez is the latest Barca player to have an effort at goal, but his shot is slow and tame and straight at Gregor Kobel in the Dortmund net.

I have absolutely no horse in this race, but that Doue goal has just made me stand up and applaud the TV. Absolutely majestic.
Alex
How on earth did he make that look so easy? PSG have got a serious talent on their hands with Doue.

Paris St-Germain 1-1 Aston Villa
Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer in ParisThat was a magnificent finish from Desire Doue. He was shown inside and accepted the invitation with a stunning curling finish out of the reach of a motionless Emiliano Martinez.
The Parc des Princes is a wall of sound. Sheer class.

Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Steve McManaman
Former Real Madrid winger on TNT SportsI thought when Raphinha chopped inside onto his right foot, he'd have a pop at goal. Maybe he wasn't confident with his right. He was inside the penalty box.
Postpublished at 20:43 British Summer Time 9 April
Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Barcelona could be about 15-0 up! Raphinha pops it on to his right on the edge of the box and finds Robert Lewandowski whose overhead kick is straight at the keeper.
At the other ends Dortmund have a rare effort, with Jamie Gittens hitting one straight at Wojciech Szczesny.
'A brilliant finish'published at 20:42 British Summer Time 9 April
Paris St-Germain 1-1 Aston Villa
Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat's a finish. Desire Doue picks it up on the left-hand-side and the Villa defenders don't get close enough to him.
Emi Martinez doesn't even dive after it, he watches it go past him. A brilliant finish.
GOAL - Paris St-Germain 1-1 Aston Villapublished at 39 mins
Desire Doue
Villa's lead only lasts four minutes.
Emiliano Martinez almost spills the ball into his own goal, but claws it off the line. But Paris St-Germain still score moments later.
It falls to Desire Doue just outside the top left corner of the penalty area, he cuts inside and unleashes a perfect curling strike into the top corner with Martinez having no chance. Wonderful goal. All square.

Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Steve McManaman
Former Real Madrid winger on TNT SportsWhat an opportunity. It's fallen to the right person. Can and Brandt work it well and Guirassy is onside. He won't want to see a replay of that.
CLOSE!published at 20:39 British Summer Time 9 April
Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Oh big chance! Dortmund should equalise.
Emre Can and Julian Brandt work it really well and loop a pass over the top for Serhou Guirassy, but he can't pick the ball as it drops over his shoulder and has a complete air shot in the box.
'Rogers had the easiest job'published at 20:39 British Summer Time 9 April
Paris St-Germain 0-1 Aston Villa
Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveWho needs possession? You get John McGinn snapping into a challenge - he is brilliant.
McGinn finds Youri Tielemans, he puts the ball across the six-yard box and Morgan Rogers had the easiest job.
They have been outplayed, outclassed, but his [Unai Emery] gameplan is working.

Paris St-Germain 0-1 Aston Villa
Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: UEFA Champions LeagueI was just saying how hard Aston Villa are finding it to get up the pitch, but that’s how you counter-attack. Absolutely brilliant from John McGann, and the run by Youri Tielemans too. That’s a brilliant goal.
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.
GOAL - Paris St-Germain 0-1 Aston Villapublished at 35 mins
Morgan Rogers
Aston Villa have had to defend in numbers, but they get the ball and spring a counter attack, which leads to the opening goal of the game.
All the credit to John McGinn as he wins the ball to start things off. Marcus Rashford plays it wide left to Youri Tielemans and he slides a perfect low ball across the face of the goal and Morgan Rogers is there at the back post to tap the ball home.
Prince William is among those on their feet celebrating the goal. What a moment for Villa. They lead in France.

Borussia Dortmund are on the ropes. Robert Lewandowski meets a loose bouncing ball on the edge of the box and volleys over.

If PSG are as incredible as all the pundits and commentators are making out, why did they only just qualify for the knockout stage?
Matt, Barnet
Watching Villa over the years and Cash defensively is a liability. That early yellow card - I hope it doesn’t come back to bite Villa.

'Villa getting overloaded'published at 20:31 British Summer Time 9 April
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe problem Villa have got is they're getting overloaded by the two full-backs, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. They're pushing on and giving Paris St-Germain another option.

Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Steve McManaman
Former Real Madrid winger on TNT SportsHas Raphinha tried to steal that? Why's he sticking that in there? There's no need for him to touch that - that's the greed of a centre forward! He can see the whole goal, he knows the ball is going in the net.
GOAL STANDSpublished at 20:27 British Summer Time 9 April
Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund
Raphinha gets away with it. He was onside. That's his 17th goal contribution in this season's Champions League.

Hang on. Offside check on Barca's goal. Did Raphinha run too early? He didn't even need to touch it!

Match Facts
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).
