Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
Villa haven't seen much of the PSG goal and John McGinn tries his luck 40 yards out. But unsurprisingly it goes miles wide. Would've needed to be sensational to score from there. It wasn't.
Raphinha (26 mins)
From the free-kick, Barcelona score!
Inigo Martinez heads it back across goal and Pau Cabarsi meets the pass to stab the ball beyond the keeper. It's going in anyway but Raphinha slides in and taps it over the line.
Barcelona 0-0 Borussia Dortmund
Silly stuff. Karim Adeyemi has a pull at Jules Kounde's hair as the two race for the ball.
Adeyemi gets booked and suddenly Barca have a free-kick in a great position.
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: UEFA Champions League
Soaking up this Paris St-Gernain pressure is part of Aston Villa’s game plan to defend deep and then mount swift counter-attacks, but the home side’s dominance - with 85% possession - is still a concern.
Villa are having to drop so deep that their wide players, Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey, are often next to their centre-halves, dealing with all the PSG attackers. That makes it much harder for them to spring forward on the break because, when they win the ball back, they have no-one to pass forward to.
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.

Vitinha had so much time on the edge of the box. He gave himself the time and space. You expect him to hit the target, but it flies high and wide.
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
Another chance for PSG. Vitinha creates some space and tries to curl it into the top corner from 20 yards out.
Emiliano Martinez is very worried, flinging himself at it, but the ball zips over the bar.

[Dortmund manager] Niko Kovac has to get a grip on that side of the pitch. It's far too easy for left-back Alejandro Balde to career forward at every opportunity.

Loads of space down the left for Barca as Alejandro Balde finds winger Raphinha, but the Brazilian is flagged for offside.

Paul: With Bayern not been what they were and Real Madrid on brink of possible elimination, plus the fact Man City are gone. If PSG don’t win the Champions League this season having dumped Liverpool out then they will never win it.

It's been a tough start for Aston Villa. You are going to have your back against the wall at times.
Villa have not had any type of possession. They're chasing the ball down and when they win the ball back there's a red and blue shirt on top of them.

One Villa full-back has been booked and the other one, Lucas Digne, is lucky to not get a yellow as he clatters into Desire Doue, who had been too quick and nicked the ball away from the left-back.
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
PSG skipper Achraf Hakimi strikes the ball from a full 35 yards out, but Emiliano Martinez watches it all the way, dives forwards and grabs the strike. Villa won't mind if PSG are restricted to speculative efforts from range.
Barcelona 0-0 Borussia Dortmund

Former Real Madrid winger on TNT Sports
Guirassy just floats offside. Surely he looks and can see that? They're the types of positions you need to pick up. He needs to be more aware of his surroundings. He does that a lot.
Barcelona 0-0 Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund have finally got going. First they send in a delicious cross for forward Serhou Guirassy who's then flagged for offside after going too early.
Then Guirassy's unlucky as he's caught by Alejandro Balde as he tries to start a counter, but the referee doesn't notice it and waves play on.
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
Villa right-back Matty Cash is the first to see yellow tonight, pulling back the advancing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the Villa man will have to be careful for a long, long time tonight.
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
Aston Villa know they're going to be sacrificial with possession.
It is a high press from Paris St-Germain - they have set the trap extremely high. Villa are struggling to break that press, but there is space for them if they can break the press.
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
Villa get a chance to put the ball into the PSG penalty area but Gianluigi Donnarumma, who saved two penalties in their shootout win over Liverpool in the last 16, comes for the cross but can only get a hand on it but the hosts then manage to clear.
Unconvincing from the PSG keeper, but he gets away with it.
Barcelona 0-0 Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund get on the ball for a bit, but now it's Barca's turn to play counter-attacking football.
Raphinha's so stylish, isn't he? He pokes the ball between the legs of a defender but is eventually tackled before he makes it into the box.

Aston Villa have hardly been in PSG's half. The newly-crowned Ligue 1 champions are making all the running and it has been a busy start for keeper Emiliano Martinez.
Constant noise from PSG's fans - and they are encouraged by what they have seen so far.
Paris St-Germain 0-0 Aston Villa
England boss Thomas Tuchel, a two-time Ligue 1 title winner when in charge of PSG, is at Parc des Princes and among those watching on. Ezri Konsa, Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers and Jacob Ramsey will all be hoping to impress.

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).
