Emery: I am not satisfied with the result, but I am pleased with the team's performance

Emery stated: "I am proud of my players; we made Paris Saint-Germain suffer, and we were close to achieving a good result. In the end, the third goal we conceded doesn't change much, as we expected to need to win in the second leg. Today, we showed discipline, but at Villa Park, we need to improve in several aspects if we want to qualify."

He continued: "Today, we tried to develop some attacking movements, but things were complicated. Paris Saint-Germain was the favorite before the match, and they had a lot of possession, with outstanding players in midfield. We gave our best effort, and in the second half, we had some chances to score when we were trailing 2-1."

He added: "On this night, my team did not show its best version, but we will work harder in the second leg."

He continued: "For me, the result is unsatisfactory, but I am pleased with the team's performance and the overall process we are committed to. Today, we did not show our best, but we will strive to improve in the return match, supported by our fans."

In response to a question about the possibility of qualifying, he said: "Yes, we will try to create something special at Villa Park. I am confident in our ability to perform better next week in the second leg. We must manage our individual and collective decisions better than we did today, but I hold onto the positive side; we managed to challenge Paris Saint-Germain today."
