We asked for your thoughts after Paris St-Germain knocked Aston Villa out of the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday.
Here are some of your replies:
Ian: Wow! What a great performance from the Villa boys. I’m so proud of them. A brilliant second half and if it weren’t for their goalkeeper, we would have definitely taken it to extra time and could have even won it. I think Ollie Watkins should have come on sooner but I cannot complain really. This is where we belong. In Unai, we trust. Keep the faith.
Matt: We had chances to win it but we just couldn’t take enough of them. It was a massive second-half effort though. The Ezri Konsa header, the Youri Tielemans header, Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio’s one on ones, and then Ian Maatsen at the death. As amazing as the effort was, that game is going to haunt me for a long time.
Guy: Oh Ezri, oh Ezri – Villa immortality awaited you. Head up, son, because you’re one of the best central defenders in Europe and you should be proud of what you achieved. Now let’s win the FA Cup.
Donovan: Fantastic. This is a team that isn’t fully developed so there is plenty more to come. Next season is going to be exciting for everyone at the Villa, as long as we make the right signings. Rashford needs to stay at all costs.
Sat: Yes, there were mistakes and errors but this is no time for criticism. From all of the adversity, Villa were immense. I’m so proud of the fight and resilience shown. Most of all, thank you to Unai Emery and the team for a brilliant Champions League campaign.
Cheryl: So proud. That game could’ve gone either way. It says a lot that we are disappointed to not be in a Champions League semi-final… actually let that sink in!
Andy: I feel nothing but pride as a Villa fan. Just being in the Champions League was a ‘pinch me’ moment. We have gone unbeaten at home in the tournament and pushed PSG, who some are calling the best team in Europe right now, to a 5-4 aggregate score over two legs of a quarter-final. What progress from a side that was in the Championship not so long ago. The performances are breath-taking and something I never thought I’d see as a Villa fan.
