Two 3/10s and a 4/10 for Marcus Rashford in L'Equipe's notorious ratings and the 'Louvre masterpieces' as PSG 'dodge Villa's trap': French papers revel in dismantling - in front of Prince William

French newspapers are revelling in Paris Saint-Germain's seismic victory over Aston Villa in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, lauding how PSG 'completely dominated' the Premier League side with 'magnificent ease'.

Nuno Mendes landed a devastating blow in stoppage time at the Parc des Princes to give PSG a 3-1 lead ahead of next week's second leg at Villa Park, capping off an excellent comeback after Morgan Rogers scored for the visitors in the first half.

Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia also netted on the night for the French giants, each scoring superb individual goals to help PSG gain full control — to the dismay of lifelong Aston Villa fan Prince William who was watching on from the stands.
