Paris Saint-Germain have been good, approaching great, in recent seasons, and are one step closer to the crowning glory of a first Champions League title after beating Aston Villa 3-1 in Paris in their quarter-final’s first leg on Wednesday.

Emery's side have already caused one upset in this year's competition when they beat Bayern Munich at Villa Park. They will face a hostile atmosphere in Paris but, in a rich vein of form, they know they have a chance of taking something back home for the second leg in less than a weeks time.

The away goals rule in the Champions League was abolished, in June 2021, following recommendations from the UEFA Club Competitions Committee and the UEFA Women's Football Committee. When in use, the rule was applied to determine the winner between teams tied on aggregate after two legs.
