Aston Villa are out of the Champions League after a 3-2 win against Paris Saint-Germain saw them lose 5-4 on aggregate to the Ligue 1 leaders.

When Emery takes stock, there is unlikely to be one major regret over #AVFC’s strategy. Best-laid plans and efforts can be undone by individual excellence or a superior team, as PSG were. But he is convinced the 2nd leg can be different - here's why: https://t.co/OaRsPJvRK8
Villa players and staff all speaking with belief in being able to turn the tie around. #AVFC will need a really quick start (like against Forest) and lean on PSG imploding/being naive. Obviously a mammoth task but Villa Park is a difficult place to come when it has belief
