The lead ultimatley didn't last, with Desire Doue cancelling out Villa's slim advantage before half-time and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia turnind the game on its head quickly after half-time.

Nuno Mendes then grabbed PSG's third in stoppage time at the end, cementing the result and make them firm favourites to progress ahead of next week's return leg in Birmingham.
