Ian Maatsen powered a half-volley from just the edge of the box that was blocked by Pacho!

Villa apparently looked dangerous during this attack, as Joao Neves cleared the danger away with a no-nonsense clearance.

Brilliant defensive work from the PSG midfielder tonight.

Desire Doue followed a long cross whipped in on the right flank. He carried the ball up to the six-yard box before trying to chip it over Martinez, but the Villa custodian denied it with his chest.

In: Ross Barkley

Out: Youri Tielemans

Hakimi followed the long through from the right flank as he breezed past Watkins and tried to chip it over from close to the six-yard box, but Martinez stretched his leg to deny the shot.

Dembele's free-kick from just outside the box was well blocked by Pau Torres leading the Villa wall against PSG.

Marcus Rashford's game by numbers vs. PSG:

100% tackles won
11 passes completed
5/9 crosses completed
4/9 dribbles completed
4 chances created

Morgan Rogers found the ball in front of the box, but his left-footed shot went wide of the left post!

This time, Dembele carried the attack through the right flank before cutting in and flashing a strike that sailed way over the target!

Dembele fired into the box from the left and executed his typical dribbling to go past the defenders before launching a strike that was denied by Emi Martinez!

In: Ollie Watkins, Ian Maatsen

Out: Marcus Rashford, Lucas Digne

Pacho recovered the ball from Rashford inside the box following a long through from the midfield. He quickly cleared the danger away.

Asensio suddenly found a long ball deflecting off Pacho and was in a one-on-one situation against Donnrumma in front of the box, but his low strike was well-denied by the PSG keeper!

Villa are mounting all the pressure on PSG now!

In: Marco Asensio, Jacob Ramsey

Out: John McGinn, Amadou Onana

The Frenchman launched a ferocious strike from the right side of the box but Emi stayed alert in making a great stop!

ASTON VILLA SCORE TWO GOALS IN THREE MINUTES TO CUT PSG'S LEAD ON AGGREGATE TO 5-4!

In: Desire Doue

Out: Bradley Barcola

Tielemans powered a header on target from close to the goal, but Donnarumma fully outstretched himself to make a brilliant fingertip save to keep the tie alive for them!

The follow-up efforts from McGinn and Torres did not bring much luck for the Villans!

What a huge turnaround of events!

This is literally sending chills down my spine!

Inspired play from Rashford, who beats two defenders after collecting the ball from the cleared corner before cutting it back for Konsa to guide it into the bottom near corner.

Villa are ahead in the game and just one goal down in this tie!

Can they pull off a magical comeback?

Rashford flashed a right-footed strike from the inside edge of the box that was brilliantly palmed over by Donnarumma!

What a marvellous strike from the Villa skipper!

Aston Villa equalize!

McGinn carried the ball through the middle corridor before launching an absolute banger with his left foot that dipped in the air and rocketed into the net through the right top bin!

In a quick counter-attack, Dembele found himself all alone in front of Emi, and he calmly chipped the ball over Emi to send it into the net. However, he was flagged for offside.

Tielemans failed to chip it over Donnarumma, but the ball slipped in front of Rashford in front of the six-yard box. This time, the PSG custodian made a great save to deny Rashford's strike.

Digne delivered a cross from the left that was flicked behind by McGinn with a header, but the ball went wide off target.

Dembele fired into the box from the left flank and sliced a powerfully crafted left-footed strike that rattled the crosspiece and sailed away!

🇫🇷⚽️ PSG have set a new record for most goals scored (30) for a Ligue 1 club in a single Champions League campaign, beating 2004-2005 Lyon's 29 (@Statsdufoot).

Aston Villa skipper John McGinn is booked for a nasty foul on Kvaratskhelia!

Comedy of errors from both sides!

Konsa found a lobbed pass inside the right side of the box as he tried to find Rashford with a swift pass, but the ball came deflected off Lee Kang-In, which almost found the net. However, the ball drifted away, and the other Villa attacker failed to connect with the second ball.

It was a routine collection for Emiliano Martinez following a grounded strike by Fabian Ruiz from the middle of the box.

Youri Tielemans has been directly involved in 4 goals in his last four games for Aston Villa:

🅰️ vs. Forest
🅰️ vs. PSG (a)
🅰️ vs. Southampton
⚽️ vs. PSG (h)

Playing the best football of his career under Emery. 👏 pic.twitter.com/LY2e2sFAqM

Aston Villa can dream of a comeback now!

This was a beautiful move from the Villa attackers!

Tielemans unleashed a powerful to find the far corner from the left-hand side of the box, but it found the near corner via a huge deflection off PSG centre-back Willian Pacho, who attempted to block the shot.

Long way to go, but a sigh of relief for the hosts!

Youri Tielemans seemed to have pushed down inside the box, and the Villa players screamed for a potential penalty. However, no penalty was given!

🔴🔵 Nuno Mendes has just scored his 4th (!) goal in Champions League, with 3 assists too.

Beautiful football by PSG once again. ✨ pic.twitter.com/evsw4OMvX7

Whattt a strike from Nuno Mendes!

Also, what a build-up from PSG!

The set-up initiated with a brilliant Joao Neves tackle inside their own box, leading up to a counter attack with Dembele sprinting on the right flank. He played it out for Nuno Mendes, totally unmarked in the middle of the box, and he punished Villa with a superb left-footed curler that rocketed past Emi and hit the bar before getting into the net!

PSG are now four goals ahead in this tie!

There were some amused faces among the Paris Saint-Germain players when they stood together ahead of their Champions League game with Aston Villa and heard the Europa/Conference League anthem, instead of the Champions League anthem...#AVLPSG | #UCL pic.twitter.com/6eqhNzU1t9

That was close for Morgan Rogers!

The forward, who has the only goal for Villa in this tie so far, found himself on the right side with a space open in front of him. However, he tried to cut in and unleashed a low left-footed strike that soared just inches off the far post!

Pau Torres controlled the ball with his chest on the left side of the six-yard box, as he unleashed a left-footed volley that was quickly palmed down by Donnrumma.

Aston Villa are trying to match the early tempo they initiated before the sudden PSG goal. 

Their early momentum has stalled, but now the Villans are trying to regain it with one attack after another.

A long backpass was sent toward the PSG custodian, but he chest-trapped it right in front of the box to keep things intact for the visitors.

And just like that, the Parisiens are ahead!

Barcola carried out a swift counter-attack on the left flank as he crossed it inside the box. Emi Martinez got his hands on it, but he failed to punch it away to a safe passage. Hakimi anticipated the rebound and slotted it home with a composed right-footed strike that rattled the roof of the net.

The PSG stalwart has made his return tonight after serving a suspension in the first leg, and he is showcasing his class in the PSG Wings shirt.

He followed a through pass from midfield and recovered it from Rashford inside the box.

Aston Villa have already attempted a couple of opportunities to crumble PSG with early pressure and reduce the deficit. However, PSG defence have stayed alert.

Amadou Onana's header, following the free-kick, flicked away from the target.

The match is underway at Villa Park!
