It finally goes in! What a moment for the 17-year-old. Madjo, has tried, tried, tried and, on the fourth big chance, rifles the ball into the net. A "physical monster" he was called by some - another McGinn cross, he gets beyond Pacho and on the volley, he scores. A star may well

GOAL: MADDDJJJOO! He's got his goal, and boy does he deserve it too. The 17yo turns in John McGinn's cross at the back post. Excellent finish. PSG 1-1 #AVFC

Marquinhos tentative going for a 50/50 with Madjo... #AVFC showing some quite nice, subtle ways of getting the ball forward. Dragging PSG CBs out of position, exposing high positioning of their FBs and do look a threat on transition.

#AVFC did not do a whole lot wrong, there. PSG attack, switch the play quickly, cross and Villa don't clear the ball. But it's difficult against that counter-press. Ball finds Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and he does that. Quality.

GOAL: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opens the scoring for PSG after what was a bright start from Villa. Beats Marco Bizot far too easily at his near post. PSG 1-0 #AVFC

And sometimes you just can't stop quality... Superb from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Cuts inside and blasts it past Bizot. 1-0 PSG #AVFC [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Cash and Maatsen sprinting out every time PSG's wingers get the ball. The whole team shifts across so quickly - may be vulnerable to a quick switch, but limits the space PSG's wingers have to dribble 1v1 or combine. A lot of hard work, though. Good intensity #AVFC

Love the little wall passes #AVFC are doing in trying to play through PSG's press. Play into the 6s or Buendia, who bounce out to the full-backs. They then play up the line to the shielders - McGinn or Madjo - with runners off them.

#AVFC's initial set-up is positive. Midfield pivot locking on PSG's Zaire-Emery and Vitinha (Neves intelligently advanced) with the CBs responsible for the space behind them. Madjo peeling onto Marquinhos, the smaller CB, when Bizot has the ball. Villa want to be on the front foo
