The shock at the top of the Champions League between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain will be crucial, the match being a return match of the quarterfinals. After a convincing victory by Paris Saint-Germain during the game go to Parc des Princes (3-1), the Parisians have the opportunity to consolidate their qualification for the semi-finals, a stage already taken in the previous season. With an extra rest due to the lack of a match this weekend, the team led by Luis Enrique aims to produce an optimal performance and avoid a dramatic reversal of the situation on the part of the Villans.

In an effort to maintain tactical coherence, the Spanish coach should deploy a composition similar to that presented during the game-go. However, two notable changes are planned: the return of Marquinhos, after completing his suspension, will take the place of Lucas Beraldo, while Bradley Barcola presents himself as a candidate for a position of incumbent, relegating Désiré Doué to the bench of replacements. Both coaches, Unaï Emery and Luis Enrique, will have to adjust their strategies to get the advantage in this decisive game.

The start of this promising meeting is set at 9 p.m. at Villa Park in Birmingham. The likely compositions aligned by the two teams are as follows: Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, Tielemans, Rogers, McGinn (cap), Ramsey, Watkins. Paris Saint-Germain : Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap), Pachot, Mendes, Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves, Barcola, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia. The outcome of this match will determine the team that will join the semifinals of the prestigious European competition.
