Paris Saint-Germain FC took a major step towards the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with a 3–1 victory over Aston Villa FC in their quarter-final first leg on 9 April 2025.
Playing at home in Paris, PSG made their quality count over 90 minutes, establishing a two-goal cushion to carry into the return leg in England. While the hosts ultimately found a way to break down their Premier League visitors on three occasions, Aston Villa stayed competitive and earned what could prove an important away goal in the tie.
The match was part of the quarter-final stage of the competition and marked matchday 1 of this round. PSG’s 3–1 success gives them a clear, but not decisive, advantage ahead of the second leg, where Villa will need at least a two-goal win to overturn the deficit.
