Soccer: Wrong anthem played before Champions League quarterfinal clash between Villa and PSG

# Soccer: The playing of the wrong anthem during yesterday’s Champions League quarterfinal clash between Aston Villa and Paris St-Germain was ascribed to a sound system malfunction. Some players struggled to contain their laughter when the Europa anthem was played at Villa Park in Birmingham before the start of the game. It was then switched to the Champions League anthem. Villa won the second-leg encounter 3-2, but PSG advanced to the semifinal with a 5-4 aggregate after winning the first match 3-1.
