PSG and Aston Villa face off for the first time ever in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
Parc des Princes on a big European night rivals any atmosphere on the continent, and with PSG having just clinched a fourth straight Ligue 1 title, they can now turn their full focus to claiming their maiden Champions League trophy.
Aston Villa are the underdogs on paper, but it would be a mistake to think PSG will steamroll them. Unai Emery's side have been one of the best in the Premier League for almost two years now and are currently on an eight game winning streak. Emery will be salivating at the possibility of upsetting the team he managed for two seasons.
Neither team are dealing with major injuries, but PSG will be without their skipper Marquinhos for the first leg through suspension. Other than the Brazilian center back, expect both sides to field their strongest XI's looking to grab the advantage before the second leg at Villa Park.
Here's how Paris Saint Germain and Aston Villa could lineup in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.
