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. An undivided domination, a qualification which was no longer doubtful &#8230; at least in appearance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also: LDC: PSG is in front of Aston Villa but qualifies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n                        <span class=\"label\">To have<\/span><br \/>\n                        <span class=\"title\">FC Nantes: Komboaur\u00e9 prepares heavy against Rennes<\/span><br \/>\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-chevron-right\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 384 512\" fill=\"currentColor\"><path d=\"M342.6 233.4c12.5 12.5 12.5 32.8 0 45.3l-192 192c-12.5 12.5-32.8 12.5-45.3 0s-12.5-32.8 0-45.3L274.7 256 105.4 86.6c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.8 0-45.3s32.8-12.5 45.3 0l192 192z\"\/><\/svg>\n                        <\/p>\n<p>But this is precisely where the trap closed. The moment of inattention, false safety. In the 34th minute, a deflected strike from Tielemans restarts everything (2-1). Then, as soon as the locker room returns, Aston Villa overturns the table.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-title-2\">The thunderstorm villa falls in Paris<\/h2>\n<p>Two minutes of madness, and everything vacillates. McGinn sends a sumptuous strike in the nets (55th), then Konsa concludes an action jewel initiated by Rashford (57th). In the space of 180 seconds, Paris collects three goals on the evening, sees its advance melt and begins to doubt. The rest?

This lesson in realism and relaxation will have no second chance. In a Champions League that does not forgive, Paris has passed very close to a new disillusionment. He came out alive, but warned.
