PSG vs Aston Villa: Match Preview
Having shed superstar trio Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar in recent years, few were lining up this new-look iteration of Paris Saint-Germain for Champions League glory.
But with a renewed focus on bright young talents and all-hands-on-deck teamwork, the likes of Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery and Desire Doue has seen Les Parisiens creep up as a surprise package in Europe's premier competition.
Parc des Princes has never been an easy place to go to, but in that context, the challenge looks even greater for the visiting Villans.
However, Unai Emery's men have likely shocked a few themselves, proving their early-season win against Bayern Munich was less novel upset and more a marker the Midlands side means business.
Already balancing fighting on multiple fronts well for a team not accustomed to continental football, Villa added a good deal of European experience in the forms of loanees Marco Asencio – eligible to play here against his parent club, PSG – and Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.
PSG will likely head into the game favourites, but given the French club's revamp and lack of modern European heritage, this one could be fairly billed as the battle of the plucky young upstarts.
