The organizers responsible for the sound setup before the Aston Villa vs Paris Saint-Germain match mixed up the music that should be played during the team's lineup.
Recall that today in Birmingham, a UEFA Champions League quarter-final match is taking place. Before every game, when the players walk onto the field and line up, the UEFA Champions League anthem, the famous composition Zadok the Priest, is played.
However, today the players did not hear this piece a few minutes before the kickoff. Instead, the Europa League anthem, the second-tier tournament by UEFA, was played at the stadium.
The players' faces expressed at least bewilderment. Some even repeated the famous facepalm meme, covering their faces when they heard the wrong track.
Recall that today in Birmingham is the second Champions League quarter-final between Aston Villa and PSG. The first game ended in favor of the Paris club 3:1.
