Paris St Germain kept alive their dream of a first Champions League title on Tuesday by squeezing past Aston Villa 5-4 on aggregate after a pulsating second leg of their quarter-final which the English side won 3-2, Reuters reported.

Ahead 3-1 from the first leg, PSG appeared to have sealed the contest within the first half-hour as their marauding fullbacks Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes scored from two flowing counter-attacks to stun the Villa Park crowd.

But Youri Tielemans revived hope with a 34th-minute deflected goal before Villa stunned the visitors early in the second half with two goals in two minutes from John McGinn and Ezri Konsa.

Villa poured forward, drawing a string of outstanding saves from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to preserve the aggregate win and enable his side to move into a semi-final against either Real Madrid or Arsenal , who play on Wednesday, according to Reuters.

Five-time European champions Barcelona reached their first Champions League semi-final in six seasons with a 5-3 aggregate victory despite being beaten 3-1 by Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Serhou Guirassy scored a hat-trick for Dortmund to condemn Barca to their first defeat across all competitions this year but it could not prevent the Catalans from reaching the last four.

"Dortmund did very well. We did not have our best day. I had a feeling something like that would happen today because I know the stadium well," said Barcelona coach Hansi Flick.

"Things didn't go too well for us but Dortmund played very well. But congratulations to my team, we're in the semi-finals. We're happy. I'm really happy for the team and the club."

The visitors found themselves on the back foot from the start with Dortmund shooting out of the blocks as they attempted to bounce back from last week's 4-0 first-leg loss, according to Reuters.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone said he was not bothered by his team's tendency to fall behind as they fight their way back into games, following their 4-2 comeback home win over Real Valladolid on Monday, Reuters reported.

Third-placed Atletico fell behind early to LaLiga’s bottom side, but two penalties from Julian Alvarez plus goals by Giuliano Simeone and Alexander Sorloth, sealed a victory that boosts their slim title hopes.

They are now seven points behind leaders Barcelona and three off second-placed Real Madrid.

It was the second comeback in a row for Atletico after they last week salvaged a last-minute 2-1 win at Sevilla to snap a three-game winless run.

"It happened against Sevilla and today too," Simeone told reporters. "Valladolid's goals were fortuitous.

"What's important is the team's reaction, the penalty and Giuliano's goal came, then we slowed the game down again but after that it went the way we wanted, according to Reuters.

"We know that there is no such thing as an easy game, there will always be difficult moments. You can't control the game all the time.
