Went 2-0 down in the first half but now lead 3-2 on the night.
5-4 on aggregate to PSG with just over ten minutes to go.

Villa can be proud of themselves though, great season for them.
Champions League quarter final, only defeated by a very high quality PSG.
In with a chance of qualifying for the Champions League again.
Got an FA Cup semi final coming up.

I know we were in the Premier League a different season, but Chelsea had an obvious offside goal given against us and that sent us down. That's just one of thousands of examples of the corrupt officials gifting the more "glamorous" club decisions and going against the "smaller" clubs. If the officials gave the correct decisions, Villa would have been relegated and we would have stayed up.
The impact this has on clubs futures can't be more clear than tonight. Villa surviving their first season back allowed them to have the funds and resources to continue building to improve, stabilise, bring in Emery and nearly knock out PSG to reach the Champions League semi finals tonight. In contrast, we're about to get relegated to League 1 and now we're a million miles apart from Villa.
It was a great game to watch tonight and I thought Emery made a massive mistake taking McGinn off. Villa lacked the energy and drive through the middle after McGinn went off and PSG then had more time on the ball to see the game out relatively comfortably.

I think I remember that disallowed goal, was that when the goal line technology didn't work for some reason?
Only time I've ever known it not to work.

Four clubs (and I know there are more) who were below us in recent seasons but they chose "Proper Management" and are now in the distance from where we are
