00:00It's been a bright start by Rodgers, driving forwards.
00:04Nuno Mendes, though, has found Bradley Barkalak.
00:06And Dembele is waiting in the centre.
00:09Martinez got to it, but Akemi has scored.
00:14Ambush.
00:1611 minutes gone.
00:18And Paris Saint-Germain stretched their lead.
00:20And that might be the whole quarterfinal right there.
00:23Emi Martinez will be disappointed
00:25with the way he dealt with the cross.
00:28But it was a devilish counter-attack from Paris Saint-Germain.
00:33And raiding forward was their right foot,
00:35but Ashraf Hakimi to steer them into the lead on the night.
00:40And three clear on aggregate.
00:43And Villa have got to score.
00:47Four goals now.
00:49Oh, it's real breathing space for PSG.
00:51You see Hakimi, bottom of the screen,
00:53he's just getting back onside after that head injury.
00:59And then, we saw moments before Barkalak.
01:01This is why he's in the side.
01:03Martinez, if you come that far,
01:05you've got to grab it, you've got to get hold of it.
01:08Pau Torres can deal with it.
01:09He waits for his goalkeeper.
01:10He lets his goalkeeper deal with it.
01:12He doesn't deal with it.
01:13It's a horrible feeling, leaving it in that space in the middle of the pitch.
01:20I feel that the pressure did leave the space for Barkalak,
01:25and the pressure that Villa have put, has been there down for.
01:28It's almost as if our friend, the percussionist,
01:33is setting the rhythm for this PSG performance.
01:36That wasn't too hot from Marquinhos.
01:38Played Joao Neves in the trouble.
01:40Marquinhos are toned.
01:42Here is Joao Neves, and here comes the counter.
01:44Hakimi's in it.
01:45Villa are outnumbered here.
01:46This is Dembele.
01:48Hakimi wants the ball on into the box.
01:50Instead, it's squared for Nuno Mendes.
01:52And both full-backs have scored.
01:53What a counter-attack.
01:57Nuno Mendes scored in Paris.
02:01Scores in Birmingham.
02:03Paris Saint-Germain have scored twice in the opening half-hour.
02:07And two of their defenders are the goal scorers.
02:11What a breakaway.
02:15Brutally.
02:23Well, it's perfect from PSG.
02:29Drawing you in at one end, and you think you've got it.
02:32Just like that, it's gone.
02:35The length of the pitch.
02:38And four passes, and then, from there, can you execute?
02:42They've got the numbers forwards, they've got the space, they've got the time,
02:48and even the finish is a perfect pass, in off the post.
02:53Just talking about how they can hurt you, how they can take it away from you.
02:58When you think you've got them, when you think you've got them cornered at one end,
03:02they're down the other, and they're gone.
03:05And you get the feeling now that PSG have gone.
03:08They're not exactly sitting on their lead, are they?
03:17Rashford, begin.
03:19And here's Telemans!
03:21And it's good enough Pacho, and Aston Villa have got one back.
03:27It will be deemed an own goal by William Pacho.
03:31Yuri Telemans gives Aston Villa a little bit of hope.
03:35But Paris Saint-Germain have been careless, careless with the lead they've established,
03:41and now half of it's gone.
03:43Well, it's a huge slice of luck, isn't it?
03:47They've just got sloppy, and then Apacho's...
03:50one of the main culprits in there.
03:54You see that Telemans well onside, and that's no problem, too.
03:57It's really in the last 12 months that he's been using that deeper, central number six role, Moutinho.
04:09It's really in the last 12 months that he's been using that deeper, central number six role, Moutinho.
04:13It's really in the last 12 months that he's been using that deeper, central number six role, Moutinho.
04:26Moutinho.
04:27Make good progress here, John McGinn!
04:32Oh!
04:33Pick that up.
04:35Villa on terms on the night.
04:40PSG's aggregate lead reduced to two.
04:45Still 35 minutes and more to play.
04:49And John McGinn gives Aston Villa hope.
04:51Oh, the captain takes the game by the scruff of the neck, and it goes from his own heart, but...
04:57just wondering...
04:58whether anyone can get to it quicker, but you're thinking, we've done a rumour in goal, just have a go.
05:05It's gonna be something special, and it takes the slightest of deflections...
05:10just to give it that loop, that dip.
05:13He's asking for the crowd to be lifted, he's asking for something, because he's just given them...
05:18something to lift them.
05:20Kept alive by cash.
05:23Rashford, away from Fabian Ruiz.
05:26Marcus Rashford, come back, a concert!
05:32Aston Villa have scored twice in no time at all.
05:36They lead on the night.
05:38They are within one on aggregate.
05:40And Paris Saint-Germain, who time and time again, in the last decade, have grumbled under pressure in this competition, are starting to flake again.
05:52This game is alive, and it's wonderful for Rashford, brilliant feet, we've seen him do it, so many times in a red shirt, this is in the claret of Aston Villa.
06:05And it's the poise and composure to set up concert, who buries it in the corner, Villa Park has erupted.
06:14It's the first time he's scored in a UEFA competition, it's the first time he's scored in any competition since September.
06:22And now we start to wonder, now we start to remember, now we start to go back over all those times that PSG have been on the verge of victories in this competition and have been unable to see it through.
06:44The lead in 2017, three of those six passer goals scored in the closing minutes.
06:53Rashford, it's come off Marquinhos, it's Tielemans, Donnarumma got a hand to it, McGinn side netting, another important save.
