It's a completely different level and so many variables, but it's really nice to see PSG transform themselves from overpaying for ego-fuelled stars to a stable, functional, entertaining team which seems to have solid foundations to continue its progression even further than what they've achieved.

 

Lets not pretend they didn't drop 240m euros on transfers this year mind.

Villa will probably give them a decent game at home but PSG have goals in them. Gonna be difficult to overcome that.

Arsenal, PSG, Barcelona and Inter feels like the most balanced semis in years.

 

Said what I said the other day - screams a PSG Barcelona final. Two excellent and very entertaining sides.

 

Got a bit of bias in this, backed Barcelona at 9/1 back in about October time - whenever it was they thrashed Real Madrid and Bayern back to back.

I wonder what the odds are on Villa winning 2-0 tonight and Emi Martinez does it again on penalties against the French. Beaten France in the world cup on pens, last season knocked Lille out on pens in the conference league... set to knock PSG out on pens?

Cant see it.  PSG are miles better, they'd have to have a really off night.

Villa  to win the tie is 8/1

Villa to win the tie via a penalty shootout is 30/1

I think tonight could be a great watch. PSGs third goal last week means it’s bound to be a much less cagey affair than it would’ve been. 
 

Expecting a wall of noise and for Villa to come out flying 

[whoareyaaa]

Think Villa can take it to ET 

[Lionator]

MC played the Prem music not the UCL

[StanSP]

Messed up the music

 

[Bugg]

Why have they played the Europa league music there

[StanSP]

What's happened with Watkins not starting recent Villa games? 

[The Year Of The Fox]

DJs getting sacked in the morning 

[Craig]

That is utterly incredible.

Yeah you've got to be pretty miffed if you was him, 2 games against PSG and he's started on the bench for both of them. Same with Asensio. 

 

Understandable to be cautious but a bit defensive from Emery. 

[whoareyaaa]

maybe not

[StanSP]

Hakimi goal. Against the run of play. Martinez error. 

[foxfanazer]

That's down to Rashford. Given the ball away everytime he's had it 

[RowlattsFox]

Haha Hakimi benefits from staying down 'injured', means he's still up the pitch

I thought Rashford was doing well on the wing and Watkins up front.

Defensive errors too. Either the defender needs to boot it or keeper has to claim it properly.

Why is he picking him ahead of Watkins ?

 

it’s not like he vindicated his selection in Paris 

 

this is on the coach

He's dreadful unless he's got a space to run into or an occasional dead ball.
