GOAL!! Aston Villa 0-2 Paris Saint-Germain (Nuno Mendes)
From one fullback to the other, that is that for Villa!
It's almost a carbon copy of the first, as the home side are caught high up the pitch on the counter once again.
This time, PSG come down the right-hand side and within three passes, the ball is pulled back to Mendes, unmarked in the box.
The defender then shows a striker's instincts as he opens up his body and guides a shot past Emi Martinez and in off the far post.
GOAL!! Aston Villa 0-1 Paris Saint-Germain (Achraf Hakimi)
THAT COULD BE CURTAINS FOR VILLA ALREADY!
From one blunder before kick-off to one on the pitch has gifted Hakimi the opener to all-but knock Villa out of the competition.
Despite making a bright start, the visitors break down the left-hand side before a low cross is drilled into the box.
Emi Martinez makes a complete hash of dealing with it and palms it straight to Hakimi, who makes no mistake with his first-time finish.
Moroccan Hakimi has had a hand in more UEFA Champions League goals than any other defender this season (7 - 2 goals, 5 assists).
Belle of the ball
Jude Bellingham believes tomorrow's Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal is 'a night made for Real Madrid'.
The reigning European champions return to the Bernabeu on Wednesday evening aiming to overturn a 3-0 deficit.
"I've heard it a million times since last week, I've seen a million videos - it's really motivating stuff," England international Bellingham told a pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
"It's a night that's made for Real Madrid.
"A night that would go down in history but also something that people are familiar with around this part of this world.
"Hopefully, we can add another special night."

Knee Zirk Reaction
Joshua Zirkzee's season could be over, with BBC Sport reporting there is some doubt over whether the forward can feature again.
Manchester United were dealt a crushing blow when Zirkzee limped off in the second half of Sunday's 4-1 defeat at Newcastle.
Red Devils coach Ruben Amorim had his head in his hands as the 23-year-old clutched his hamstring and hit the deck.
The Netherlands international has since been undergoing tests to determine the extent of the injury.
He was almost certainly set to be ruled out of Man United's huge Europa League showdown with Lyon on Thursday.
However, now, there are fears that the severity of his hamstring issue could rule him out for the remaining weeks of the season.
Man United have six Premier League games left, in addition to four potential Europa League ties, should the club reach the final in May.
Zirkzee has netted three Premier League goals since arriving at Old Trafford from Bologna for £36.5million last summer.
Eating out of the Palm of his hands
Cole Palmer's one-word social media post has left Chelsea fans pointing the finger at Enzo Maresca.
After a blistering start to the season, the Blues' talisman has struggled for form in recent months, with his 14-game goal drought continuing in his side's 2-2 draw against Ipswich on Sunday.
Palmer's faltering performances have coincided with Chelsea's woes of late, who now face an uphill battle to claim one of the five Champions League qualification spots up for grabs.
The draw with Ipswich saw Enzo Maresca's side drop to sixth in the Premier League table, level on points with Aston Villa in seventh.
Having stayed radio silent in the immediate aftermath of the weekend's game, the playmaker then reposted an 'on this day' video shared by the club's official account.
With the clip marking a year since Chelsea's 6-0 win over Everton, which saw Palmer score four goals, he reshared footage of his first strike from the night, a stunning solo effort.
Captioning the post, the England star simply wrote: "Enjoyment," alongside a beaming face emoji.
'He still has a future'
Troy Deeney believes that Martin Odegaard is still a key player for Arsenal, but admits that Ethan Nwaneri will replace him in the long run.
Speaking totalkSPORT.com about whether Arsenal has outgrown Odegaard, Deeney said: "Not yet I wouldn't say, I do think there's a succession plan where Ethan Nwaneri goes in that No.10 as a more a long-term solution.
"I think Martin Odegaard does a lot for the team that a lot of people don't see.
"Just the position and the cuteness of his play, I think he's excellent, but looking back at that game [Madrid], there was nobody that played less than a 9/10. They were all excellent."
Deeney added: "I think he sets the press, he runs a lot, he's the one that runs and everybody follows, he's definitely added to Declan Rice as well.
"I think you've seen now, Declan Rice looks like he can run all over everybody, I think he gets that from Odegaaard.
"Does he take too many touches? He went through a spell of missing chances in November/December time, he didn't score.
"I just think, has he got to that place now where he is looking to slip somebody else in, and maybe understanding that maybe shooting is not his forte I suppose. But I still think he has a future."
'No timeframe' on Eddie Howe return - Tindall
Newcastle are placing no timeframe on Eddie Howe's return to work as he battles his way back from pneumonia.
The 47-year-old Magpies head coach was taken to hospital on Friday evening after feeling unwell for several days and now faces a spell away from the club following his diagnosis.
Number two Jason Tindall and coach Graeme Jones will take charge of the team in his absence as they attempt to steer the Carabao Cup winners into the Champions League for the second time in three seasons and Tindall has revealed his long-term ally will not be rushed back.
He said: "There is no exact timeframe. That is something we will assess day by day. The only question I can answer is that he is in the best possible hands and everything will be guided by them on a day-to-day basis.
"He will only come back when he is ready to come back and it will be on the guidance of the people taking care of him."
Worth his weight in Silva
Fulham are braced for a battle to keep manager Marco Silva beyond the end of the season.
Silva’s stock is high after leading the Cottagers to the FA Cup quarter-finals and into contention for a European place.
With Bournemouth hopeful of persuading Andoni Iraola to commit his future to the Cherries, Silva is emerging as a front-runner to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
Postecoglou faces the sack even if Spurs win the Europa League after leading the north Londoners to SEVENTEEN Premier League defeats this season.
As previously reported by talkSPORT, ex-Everton and Watford boss Silva, who has also been touted for a possible switch to Juventus, has a release clause of around £8m in his contract.
Fulham would ideally like to tie Silva down to a new long-term deal, but he is not in any rush to put pen to paper.
It's Gunner happen!
Arsenal are confident their move for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi will be completed by early June, talkSPORT understands.
Gunners fans were concerned by reports in Spain that Real Madrid would attempt to hijack their move for Zubimendi.
However, sources close to the Emirates Stadium have told talkSPORT negotiations are progressing well to make the Spain international their first signing of a busy summer.
Zubimendi has a £52m release clause in his contract that Arsenal have told Sociedad they are willing to activate.
The 26-year-old Basque native previously looked set to move to the Premier League last summer.
A deal with Liverpool was agreed, but Zubimendi ended up staying put in Spain after a last-minute change of heart - but now he looks set to finally make the switch to the English top flight.
Cherry picked
Bournemouth are resigned to losing defender Dean Huijsen this summer, talkSPORT understands.
Huijsen has a £50million release clause in his contract and has held talks with a host of clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.
The 20-year-old is also on the radar of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich but talkSPORT understands he is more likely to remain in the Premier League.
Liverpool are looking to sign a new centre-back even with captain Virgil van Dijk agreeing a new contract.
Huijsen’s arrival would facilitate the possibility of England international Jarell Quansah, wanted by Newcastle, departing.
Spain international Huijsen, who cost Bournemouth a bargain £16m, also fits the profile of Chelsea’s recruitment policy.
Meanwhile, Spurs are likely to lose Cristian Romero to Atletico Madrid in the forthcoming transfer window.
Rooney set for EFL lifeline?
Wayne Rooney could be offered a surprise managerial lifeline by Blackburn, talkSPORT understands.
Blackburn only appointed Valerien Ismael in February after John Eustace quit to join Derby, but the Frenchman is already under pressure after winning just one of his eight games in
charge.
TalkSPORT has been told Cheshire resident Rooney would be a contender to step into the hot-seat at Ewood Park.
Rooney has been out of work since being sacked by Plymouth in December after winning just five of his 25 games in charge.
The England and Manchester United legend turned TV pundit still harbours ambitions to be a success in the dugout after spells at Derby, Birmingham and DC United.
Double boost for Arsenal
Mikel Arteta has been handed a welcome boost with Thomas Partey and Ben White involved in training on Tuesday.
Arsenal travel to Spain for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Real Madrid holding a 3-0 advantage.
White missed Arsenal’s home clash with Brentford after picking up a fresh injury in training.
Meanwhile Partey was forced off during the clash with the Bees, sparking concerns over his availability.
However both players now look likely to be involved.
There was no sign of Riccardo Calafiori though, following the knee injury picked up on international duty.
Man United's Antony decision pays off
Manchester United will not receive a loan fee from Real Betis for Antony as a result of his successful loan.
As part of the deal, the Red Devils insisted that Real Betis pay a small percentage of his salary and a penalty fee if the winger didn’t play at least 15 games.
This was to ensure that the Brazilian got regular game time so they could assess his progress in the summer.
Had Antony not met the threshold of 15 games, Real Betis would have had to pay a penalty clause of around £480k.
But after four goals and four assists in his 15 games so far, the deal has worked out in everyone's favour with reports in Spain stating that the club and player are keen to extend the deal beyond the summer.
A glimmer of hope?
Kevin Hatchard believes that Paris Saint-Germain’s lack of cutting edge in attack is Aston Villa’s only real hope of joy in their Champions League clash tonight.
Villa are 3-1 down ahead of the return leg, with Unai Emery’s side needing a comprehensive victory to advance to the semi-finals.
He told talkSPORT Breakfast: “The real weakness that they’ve had through the season has been a lack of clinical edge in attack.
“That sounds crazy when you think that Ousmane Dembele has better than a goal a game in 2025, they’ve got Barcola and Kvaratskhelia but earlier in the season but earlier in the season that was the issue.
“That’s what’s changed but even in the first leg they missed some opportunities.
“If Villa can get the first goal then that might just put a seed of doubt in there and get them looking at each other but they’re a very, very good side these days.”
Substitution error 'really strange' - Silva
Marco Silva has hit out at the officiating error that saw Ryan Sessegnon incorrectly take off in Fulham's clash with Bournemouth.
Fourth official Tim Robinson held up the number 30 for Sessegnon instead of 20 (Saka Lukic), before refusing to correct the error.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Silva said: "It was a complete lack of communication with the fourth official. He was probably more concerned with other things and not doing his job really.
“Our player saw the number 32 or 33 but we’ve seen many many times with the lack of communication and in three changes he didn’t give us the time to change again.
“For us, his attitude is really strange and his decision because next week it is going to be different.
“It’s really strange. The player was there but he didn’t let us do what we wanted to do and many times we see that lack of communication. It wasn’t a good night.”
Huijsen celebrates birthday win
Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen celebrated his 20th birthday by beating Fulham on Monday night.
The Spanish defender played the full 90 minutes as the Cherries won 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium.
After the final whistle, Huijsen told Sky Sports: "It's definitely going to be a memorable birthday!
"I think as a team we did so well today, not necessarily how we played but the fight we gave and the togetherness we had. It's great to get a win again and we are back in the running [for Europe].
"[We had] the will to win, we were really hungry to win. We all did a great job, we ran as much as we could. Credit to the team."
The win sees Bournemouth leapfrog Fulham into eighth place as they tussle for a spot in Europe next season.
Meanwhile, Huijsen continues his impressive campaign, adding: "I believe in my abilities and try my best for the team. The fans were great tonight, it gave us an extra push
"We play high press football, we are fearless in that sense, I am so happy we could win."
