Aston Villa-Psg: a dream departure … before the storm
We thought of PSG in the shelter, serene and almost already in the semi-finals. The perfect scenario seemed to be emerging for the men of Luis Enrique. With two goals signed Hakimi (11th) and Nuno Mendes (27th), Paris led 2-0 in Birmingham and 5-1 on all two games.

Qualified PSG, but warned
PSG will see the semi-finals of the Champions League, but at what price. This lesson in realism and relaxation will have no second chance.
