PSG Mount Comeback to Beat Aston Villa in Champions League Clash
On a thrilling Champions League night, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) showcased their resilience by defeating Aston Villa 3-1 in the first leg of the 2025 UEFA Champions League quarter-final at Parc des Princes.
Despite being crowned Ligue 1 champions just last weekend, PSG found themselves trailing early in the match. Morgan Rogers stunned the Parisian crowd with a precise finish after a well-orchestrated move initiated by Youri Tielemans, putting the Premier League side ahead against the run of play.
However, PSG regrouped quickly. Desire Doue equalized before halftime with a beautiful curling strike that left Villa’s goalkeeper rooted to the spot. The French champions continued to press in the second half, and their efforts paid off when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia slalomed past defenders to score a sensational solo goal, giving PSG the lead.
Not resting on their laurels, Nuno Mendes, PSG’s left-back, added a third with a well-timed run and finish, ensuring Luis Enrique’s men head into the second leg with a strong advantage.
