In a thrilling Champions League quarter-final second leg, Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) played out a 3-2 victory for Unai Emery’s side, but PSG advanced to the semi-finals with a 5-4 aggregate win. Luis Enrique’s squad owes their progression to Donnarumma’s heroics, just as they did in the round of 16 against Liverpool.

Donnarumma made five crucial saves, two of which were game-changing. His first stunning save came in the 60th minute when PSG’s defense faltered, and Villa looked certain to score. The Italian goalkeeper’s reflexes kept his team in the game.

The defining moment came when a poor clearance from Nacho fell to Tielemans, whose powerful header seemed destined for the net until Donnarumma’s acrobatic one-handed save denied Villa a fourth goal. Ten minutes later, he thwarted Marco Asensio in a one-on-one, earning a match rating of 7 and cementing his status as one of the game’s standout performers.
