In the Champions League quarter-final, Unai Emery returns to Paris St-Germain (PSG) to face his former side with Aston Villa. Emery, who previously won seven trophies in two years at PSG, seeks redemption for his infamous defeat in the 2017 Champions League, known as “La Remontada.” PSG thrashed Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg, only to lose 6-1 in the return fixture. Emery’s European expertise is crucial for Villa, having led Sevilla to three Europa League titles and Villarreal to a Champions League semi-final. Luis Enrique, Barcelona’s coach in 2017, will be on the opposite sideline. Villa, currently on a seven-match win streak, has been boosted by the arrival of Marco Asensio on loan from PSG. Asensio, a three-time La Liga and Champions League winner with Real Madrid, could provide valuable insight. The tactical battle between Emery and Enrique will be pivotal, with both coaches highly regarded.
