The Parisian team, led by coach Luis Enrique, travels to Birmingham to face Aston Villa in the quarter-final return of the Champions League. With a convincing victory (3-1) in the game go to Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain is in a favorable position to reach the semifinals. Nevertheless, this meeting in Villa Park is going to be arduous, faced with a particularly electric atmosphere and with conditions of reception that are not conducive to tactical preparation.

The English authorities have, surprisingly, granted Luis Enrique a minimalist workspace, a small cagibi of about 6 square meters, compared to the space of 30 square meters put at the disposal of Unai Emery, the coach of Aston Villa. This small space, equipped with a simple table, four seats and an imposing bin, makes preparing and exchanging with the technical staff particularly difficult. Similarly, the changing rooms allocated to the Paris team are less comfortable than those reserved for the local team, enjoying the advantage of receiving.

The match, scheduled for 15 April 2025 at 9 p.m. in Villa Park, will therefore be a real test for Paris Saint-Germain, which will have to overcome logistical obstacles in addition to the sporting difficulty inherent in a match at this level. The outcome of this confrontation between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain remains uncertain, suggesting a possible victory for the English, a draw or a favorable outcome for the Parisians.
