Paris Saint-Germain is located on the Rijsteel in their UEFA Champions League Quarte Final against Aston Villa thanks to a 3-1 win in the Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening. However, the scorer of the ultimate goal, Nuno Mendes, is wary of the threat that the Premier League side can pose for the second stage, in Villa Park.
The established side of Birmingham took place in the first half thanks to Morgan Rogers, but the dominance of PSG finally told it. Désiré Doué brought the scores before the break before Khivcha Kvaratskhelia held them early in the second half. It seemed that PSG would only take an advantage of one goal to Birmingham before Mendes performed in injury time to give his side a pillow of two goals.
But there is no room for complacency. “This third goal gives us much more confidence. An advantage of two goals is good, but we have to continue,” said the Portugal International in an interview with mixed zone attended by Get Frans Voetbal News.
He added: “We still have a match to play. Two goals, I think it is nothing. If they score in the first half, it will be difficult because they will be at home.”
