The pre -match accumulation was a rock concert more than the football match, as Flames and Pyrotechnics Park light up, and fireworks that fly on both sides of the stadium from the roof of tall stands.
The strict expression in the brand stared at the director of the former legendary villa, Ron Sonders, from the giant screens before its launch as one of the most famous quotes in the club's history, echoing the stadium.
“Do you want to bet against us?” It is a fixed message in the folklore villa, Sonders delivered it when they stumbled and they were suspected before winning the league title in 1981.
Everyone inside Villa Park had a bet against them, as Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes placed PSG 2-0 inside the first half of the hour.
“Start the car,” said one of the fans of the despair. It is hoped that he would not follow his own advice, otherwise he had missed a excitement that left the pitch in chewing nails from the final whistle.

Youuri Tielemans got one, then it was a game on the game when John McGinn and Ezri Konsa hit twice in three minutes in the second half.
The lack of Paris Saint -Germain experience, but the wonderful goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarum, who saved wonderfully from Marcus Rashford, Telemans and Marco Asensio to repel the Villa attack.
In a wall designed from the sound and with Paris Saint -Germain in fear, Emery threw himself on the ground in a mixture of despair and disbelief when KONSA failed to contact his head and the goal under his mercy.
The great return was behind a villa, but in disappointment there was glory.
