Paris Saint-Germain lost 3-2 to Aston Villa (Aston Villa/PSG video highlights) on Tuesday at Villa Park in the return quarter-finals of the Champions League 2024-2025 (3-1 first leg, 4-5 aggregate), but qualified for the semi-finals (April 29-30 and May 6-7). A record in French soccer, as noted by OptaJean.
“9 – Paris SG will be playing in their 9th semi-final in a major European competition (5 Champions League, 3 Cup Winners’ Cup, 1 UEFA Cup), more than any other French club (Marseille to 8).”
It’s a great performance for PSG, who are taking an increasingly important place in soccer and its history. What’s more, it’s the second semi-final in a row, which is something to be proud of. All the more so for coach Luis Enrique, who has been on a roll since his arrival.
Of course, we hope that Paris will find the solutions this time to reach the final. We’re just waiting to see who they face in the semi-final. We’ll know the verdict at the end of Real Madrid/Arsenal tonight, knowing that the English are off to a fine start with a 3-0 win in the first leg.
