Gianluigi Donnarumma barely saw the ball in the Champions League quarter-final, but ex-Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored a stunner for PSG to beat Aston Villa 3-1, while Barcelona are on track to face Inter or Bayern Munich in the semi-final, APA reports citing Yahoo News.
The Parisians dominated at Parc des Princes, but as seen so many times before including the Round of 16 here against Liverpool, went behind to a counter-attack totally against the run of play.
Practically the first time Italy international Donnarumma saw the ball was when it went into the back of his net, as the defence was torn apart by a ball flashed across the face of goal for Morgan Rogers to tap in at the back post.
It was quickly cancelled out by a spectacular Desiré Doué right-foot curler into the far top corner.
PSG continued to control the match and turned it around when Kvaratskhelia showed some of the skill that made him a hero in his first season at Napoli.
In the other Champions League quarter-final, Barcelona have one foot in the next phase following a 4-0 hammering of Borussia Dortmundwith a Robert Lewandowski double, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal on target.
The winners of that tie will go on to face either Bayern Munich or Inter in the Champions League semi-final.
