JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain will visit Aston Villa headquarters, Villa Park, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Wednesday, April 16, 2025, early morning WIB.
PSG's path did look smooth because it had a 3-1 aggregate advantage in the first leg at the Parc des Princes in the middle last week.
Despite winning two goals, PSG coach Luis Enrique quickly dismissed the notion that his team was favorite to advance to the semifinals.
"Of course, we were better in the first leg and deserved to win. However, that story has passed. Now the second story begins."
"We'll see who's better, who's going to win. We have that advantage, but it's not in accordance with our philosophy of thinking for sure," Luis Enrique told a news conference ahead of the match on Monday, April 14, 2025, local time.

The Spaniard further confirmed that he chose to focus on the second leg rather than looking up because he was ahead of the aggregate.
He wants his troops to prove the feasibility of achieving the Champions League semifinals.
"We still have an idea not to do the calculations. If Aston Villa score a goal or win, we have to show in this match that we have the level needed to reach the semifinals," said Enrique.
Luis Enrique added that he expected the hosts' supporters to create a frightening atmosphere at Villa Park. However, he asked his team to accept the challenge.
"We want to try to solve the problems Aston Villa will face. Our goal is to win."
"For us, the most important thing is to be competitive in stadiums like Villa Park. We like to play at home and away. That's not a problem, but motivation," said Enrique.
