Aston Villa remains optimistic despite being considered underdogs against PSG, trailing 3-1 from the first leg. Villa's manager, Unai Emery, believes their task isn't impossible, aiming to secure a win with an extra goal in the rematch.

Villa's confidence stems from their solid home record in European games this season, with four clean sheets in five matches. Despite being written off by many, the team's belief in their abilities, demonstrated by their performance in the first leg, fuels their determination to potentially turn the tie around. Emery's strategic approach and past success in knockout competitions further contribute to Villa's optimistic outlook as they prepare to face PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals.
