Aston Villa vs. PSG: What the managers are saying

Unai Emery, Aston Villa

(via Aston Villa)

“After the first leg, we were playing away, of course, the result is for them. They showed their favourite way they have for this competition and as well playing against us, but we showed as well our capacity to compete, getting close, to be as well adding with our possibilities to beat them.

“[Tuesday], tactically we are going to try to get our best individual and collective tactical idea to face them.

“We have to believe, showing our wishes to get it, respecting them in the same way we did there, but of course trying to use now Villa Park like our home and like our fortress."

Luis Enrique, PSG

(via PSG)

"The road to the Champions League is lined with favourites who have been knocked out. So of course we have an advantage after the first leg, but that’s in the past now. [Tuesday], we’ll have to prove during the match that we have the level to compete in the semi-finals of this competition."
