Paris Saint-Germain are looking to finish the job against Aston Villa and punch their ticket to the UEFA Champions League, heading into the match with a 3-1 lead on aggregate. But before the action even kicked off, there was a hilarious—and slightly awkward—moment as the players made their way onto the pitch.
When the players head to the pitch and stand in line, it’s to hear the Champions League anthem. However, that didn’t happen as Villa Park blasted the UEFA Europa League anthem around the stadium. If it was to confuse PSG, perhaps that might work, but the Premier League squad needs three goals to advance.
