'We thought it was over'

Thriller: Dembele admits PSG went to sleep in Villa quarterfinal

- 

Paris Saint-Germain's Ousmane Dembele said his side needed to learn not to switch off in big games after almost collapsing against Aston Villa in their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday, and called on his team-mates to avoid making the same mistake in the last four.

"You have to be demanding, especially in matches like these. We made the task difficult for ourselves, even if Aston Villa put us under a lot of pressure," Dembele told French broadcaster Canal Plus after PSG lost 3-2 on the night in the second leg, but squeezed through to the semifinals 5-4 on aggregate.

"They have good players too, but I think we made life really difficult for ourselves, especially in the second half where we completely went off the boil."
