During the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a 13-year-old PSG supporter named Maël was expelled from Villa Park. The incident occurred before halftime, following a goal by PSG's Achraf Hakimi, which prompted Maël to raise his arms in celebration. His expulsion was reportedly initiated by other Aston Villa supporters who complained about his actions. Maël's family had gifted him the ticket for his birthday, and the young fan was visibly upset, as he was unable to witness the second half of the match. The event has sparked controversy, particularly regarding the treatment of young fans at sporting events.
