Reaction and highlights as Aston Villa lose 3-1 at Paris St-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg
Morgan Rogers had given Villa a first-half lead but brilliant goals from Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes leave Unai Emery's side with an uphill task
The two sides meet again in the second-leg next Tuesday (20:00 BST)
Barcelona overwhelm Borussia Dortmund with a 4-0 win in Wednesday's other quarter-final
Luis Enrique and his players know that their quarter-final tie is not over, but what chance do Aston Villa have of hauling themselves back into this tie and even winning it?
Well Paris St-Germain might have a decent record away from home, but similar comebacks have been achieved before.
Nine teams have been exactly two goals down after an away leg in a knockout Champions League tie and managed to successfully turn things around at home.
The most recent to do that were Juventus, who lost 2-0 at Atletico Madrid in the 2018-19 last-16 stage but won their second leg 3-0.
PSG sides of the past have twice surrendered two-goal leads at the halfway stage of a Champions League knockout tie to be eliminated - the most of any club. It occurred for them against Chelsea in 2013-14 and against Manchester United in 2018-19.
Famously, the Parisians once surrendered a four-goal first-leg advantage against Barcelona, winning 4-0 at home but losing 6-1 at the Nou Camp.
That happened in 2016-17 when the French side were managed by Emery, and when PSG's current boss Luis Enrique was in charge of Barcelona.
