Ezri Konsa’s reaction said it all.

As Aston Villa’s players lined up ahead of their do-or-die Champions League quarter-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain, supporters at Villa Park were ready to belt out the iconic Champions League anthem.

However, those same supporters were left in equal parts disappointed and surprised when, instead of the Champions League anthem being played, the Europa League song was blared out instead.

The error was certainly not lost on the players.

As the cameraman made their way down Villa’s playing line-up, it caught Konsa with an all-time reaction.

The England international facepalmed and shook his head in utter disbelief at the error.

Youri Tielemans was another who had a priceless reaction as he appeared to be holding in laughter.

Although Villa’s supporters, like Konsa, were left miffed, several fans took delight in sticking the boot in.

talkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara was one of them as he took a swipe at Villa great Gabby Agbonalhor: “Aston Villa playing the Europa League theme tune is amazing, sums you lot up Gabz.”

While another fan said: “How embarrassing. Villa Park playing the Europa League music rather than the Champions League music.”

Unfortunately for Villa, the anthem blunder perhaps foreshadowed what was to come.

Despite Villa playing with attacking intent, they were sliced open on a rapid counter-attack.

Hakimi put PSG ahead 4-1 in the tie with an early finish[/caption]

Villa gloveman Emi Martinez looked to have dealt with the danger from Bradley Barcola’s driven cross from the left side, but a mix-up between the Argentinian and Pau Torres meant Achraf Hakimi was unmarked to slam home the rebound in the 11th minute.

Luis Enriue’s side scored their second of the night and fifth of the tie shortly after via another rapid foray forward.

This time it was PSG’s other full-back, Nuno Mendes, who found the back of the net as he swept home from Ousmane Dembele’s cross.

Mendes’ strike put PSG ahead 5-1 on aggregate as their travelling supporters could begin dreaming about a semi-finals berth.

However, Tielemans pulled one back for Villa in the 34th minute when his effort deflected off Willian Pacho and past a helpless Gianluigi Donnarumma.
