Aston Villa v PSG Post-Match Thread

[cdbearsfan]

PSG are a genuinely brilliant team. And we just gave them the fright of their lives. Let's kick on and qualify again, we can win this competition. Oh, and don't forget to collect the FA Cup on the way, please.

Also, nice scarf, and I'm glad Malen and Garcia are on it even though they couldn't play.

What a game, beaten by 2 worldies in the first leg and a poor goal keeping error in this match.
We went toe to toe with one of the best young sides in Europe and can hold our heads up high.

We won't be waiting another 40 years for our next crack at it either if we finish the season the way we have been fir the last few months.

Gutted and proud in equal measure.

Done. Perfect summary, I think.

I can say it now but PSG are the best team I have ever seen us face in 40 odd years. But we stood tall and almost had them.
Two astonishing games of football with everything from breathtaking play to appalling officials, from incredible noise to barley credible media coverage (Ferdinand).

Now we must not wilt. The strong finish is very much alive.

We ain't seen nothing yet.....

It's not often a keeper is MOTM for a side after conceding 3.

Precisely this. We gave them a real scare, and showed that this is our stage now.

You can make a case for it last Saturday, too.

Valiant effort , to come back from two down like that was superb character .

Was good to see Nassef hogging the limelight at the final whistle.

“I don't think my team has ever been dominated by any other team like that. This opponent had to take risks because they were falling out of the competition. They attacked intensely. We also played against a great crowd.”

Luis Enrique, on Aston Villa.

Disappointed he didn't give a team talk and dressing down in the centre circle a bit like Phil Brown.

A cracking game of football and I want us to go out and back Unai Emery and do it all again next season. Two really good teams this evening, one of the best games I’ve seen from Villa. Delighted with the win, sorry we fell just Short, but we have not disgraced ourselves by any stretch in this competition. Onwards and upwards.

We probably had 5 minutes after Konsa's goal where we couldhave gone on and won it, but they grew back into the game.  Great performance second half.  We just PSG 3-2, that's a reason to celebrate in itself.  Proud to be Villa, if a little sad.

The referee broke up the game and gave them every whistle. Fouls ended 15 - 3.. that's statistically insane.

He was an absolute shitbag if a ref.

Only +3 mins too
