BIRMINGHAM, England -- Paris Saint-Germain held on to secure a spot in the Champions League semifinals after Aston Villa's dramatic second-half fightback on Tuesday almost took this epic quarterfinal into extra time.
PSG, leading 3-1 from the first leg, moved 5-1 ahead on aggregate with goals from Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes before the half hour mark of this second leg at Villa Park. But a Youri Tielemans strike shortly before halftime gave Villa hope, and they stunned PSG by taking a 3-2 lead on the night with goals from John McGinn and Ezri Konsa early in the second-half.
