Aston Villa's top goalscorer Ollie Watkins was benched by PSG manager Unai Emery in the Champions League quarter-final second leg, despite Villa needing to overturn a 3-1 deficit. Watkins, who scored in the previous match against Southampton, sat out for the fifth time in six games. Emery opted for Marcus Rashford up front, with Amadou Onana replacing Jacob Ramsey as the only change from the first leg.
PSG boss Luis Enrique made two changes from the previous match, bringing back Marquinhos and Bradley Barcola in the starting lineup. The lineups for the match featured Emiliano Martinez, Marcus Rashford, and other key players for Villa, while PSG fielded Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ousmane Dembele, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The match kicked off at 1900 GMT with Jose Maria Sanchez as the referee.
