PSG outclass Aston Villa in a thrilling Champions League quarter-final first leg, winning 3-1 thanks to standout performances from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Doue equalized with a stunning curling finish, while Kvaratskhelia scored an unstoppable shot to put PSG ahead. Emiliano Martinez's goalkeeping kept Villa in the game until Nuno Mendes sealed the win in injury time. PSG, now led by Luis Enrique, are playing superb attacking football and are firm favourites to reach the last four. The team's success is built on structured team building and the addition of talented young players like Doue and Kvaratskhelia, who cost £102m combined. Doue, 19, created the most open play chances per 90 minutes of anyone in Europe's top five leagues this season, and has 13 goal involvements in his past 12 games. Kvaratskhelia, 24, troubled Aston Villa throughout the match and scored a brilliant goal. PSG are now considered one of Europe's best teams, with Ousmane Dembele finally fulfilling his potential.
