Drama, Heart, and Explosion in Villa Park Out of Champions League, but only by Scoreline|

If “glorious failure” is not something, then Aston Villa gave a perfect example of it in Villa Park. Their team was eliminated from Champions League, but the passion and fight they showed against Paris Saint Germain, won everyone’s heart.

Champions League after 43 years, and what a comeback it was

The last time Aston Villa was in the Champions League was 43 years ago, and then they were also the defending champions. But this time under Emery they showed that their future in elite level football is bright.

Shock from early goals, but comeback mode again

PSG took a 3-1 lead in the first leg. Early goals in the second leg also took the aggregate to 5-1. It seemed that Villa’s story was over… But what happened next surprised everyone. Villa gave PSG a tough time by switching on the counter attack mode. If one more goal was scored, the match would have gone into extra time.

Confusion about the theme song, but the stadium had a champions vibe

The Europa League anthem was played before the match by mistake – it was a bit awkward moment. But the atmosphere of Villa Park was of Champions League level – full of roars, cheers and energy.

Emery: European Specialist, and Villa’s Future is Bright

Unai Emery has shown a lot of success in Europe, and his strategy had made PSG nervous. If Villa continues to perform like this, then next time this team will go further, maybe even bring the trophy.

A proud moment for the fans

This was not a defeat, it was a statement. Villa showed that they can challenge any big club. Aston Villa fans may be a little disappointed but they definitely saw the fighting spirit of a champion team.
