# Aston Villa fans loving impact of ex-Villa man Gueye in Champions League

Aston Villa fans aren’t surprised after former-Villa man Idrissa Gueye had a storming performance for Paris St-Germain in the UEFA Champions League.

Gueye and PSG romped to a 3-0 win at the Parc Des Princes on Tuesday evening, with the ex-Everton and Villa man being a key presence in the midfield.

Villa fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions about the midfielder, with many not being surprised that the midfielder is performing well for the French champions.

@BruceRioch4 isn’t surprised that the midfielder is impressing in France.

@los\_villain loved seeing him play in the Champions League, but reckons that Marvelous Nakamba could end up being as good as him.

@TheVillaHome isn’t shocked that the midfielder is doing bits for PSG.

### Read Aston Villa’s Verdict

Gueye was always too good for Villa, and his career path has now found him at a top European side.

He has shown he is a top midfielder, and has been rewarded with a starting role in one of Europe’s best teams.

It’s quite a shock to see a player who was relegated with Aston Villa now playing in the Champions League, especially after that horrible season.
