Aston Villa faces an uphill battle as they aim to overturn a two-goal deficit against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final second leg on Tuesday evening. PSG emerged as 3-1 victors in the first leg, with Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Nuno Mendes finding the net after Morgan Rogers’ opener for Villa. The Premier League side will rely on their home support to stage a memorable comeback.
Villa made some changes to their lineup in a 3-0 win over Southampton, with Unai Emery fielding a strong team. The victory boosted their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, where they need to finish fifth or higher.
PSG, on the other hand, had a restful weekend and are in top form, winning 26 of their last 28 matches. The French side will be wary of complacency as they visit Villa Park.
The winner of this tie will face either Arsenal or Real Madrid in the semi-finals, with Arsenal holding a commanding lead after the first leg.
