ASTON VILLA’s DJ dropped an absolute clanger moments before the second leg of their Champions League clash with PSG – by playing the Europa League anthem.
Both teams lined up to hear the traditional and world-famous anthem seconds before the second leg of their quarter-final tie got underway.

But they and the thousands of Villa fans in attendance were instead treated to the Europa League anthem.
Unai Emery’s troops were visibly stunned by the gaffe as the camera went past the starting XI.
The Villa Park were equally as as flabbergasted and started to boo the error.
The astonishing mistake, understandably, went viral.
One footie fan said: “Why did they play the Europa League anthem?”
Another said: “EUROPA LEAGUE ANTHEM ON UCL NIGHT.”
And another said: “The players’ faces say it all.”
One remarked: “Someone’s getting sacked in the morning.”
Another chimed in: “How do you f**k up this bad?”
Amazon commentator Adrian Clarke said of the gaffe: “The first misstep of the night, someone’s miscued the Champions League anthem.
“Stirring music but not quite what we’ve come to expect to a prelude to games like this.”
The anthem error was not the start Emery and his charges would liked to the match.
And it was seemingly a bad omen as Achraf Hakimi struck in the 11th minute to fire the visitors into a 4-1 lead on aggregate.
