Arsenal or Real Madrid. Here is one of the clubs that will face in the 1/2 final of the Champions League the winner of the double confrontation between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain. Before the returns rounds, we head to a poster between the Gunners and the Ile -de -France residents. But everything can still change between tonight and tomorrow. This Tuesday, the champions of France can compost their ticket for the next round, they who took a good advantage last Wednesday at the Parc des Princes thanks to their 3 to 1 victory.

But we will have to be wary of the villans, who want to continue the adventure in the most beautiful of European competitions. To send the champions of France to the carpet, Unai Emery has some ideas in mind. The Spaniard, who will have to do without Donyell Malen and Andrés Garcia, will a priori bet on a 4-2-3-1. In the cages, no surprise since it is Emiliano Martínez who will hold at the start. In front of him, we will find the same defensive quartet as going to, namely Lucas Digne, Pau Torres, Ezri Konsa and Matty Cash. In the middle, the Youri Tielemans-Boubacar Kamara duo will be there.

Unai Emery and Luis Enrique must decide

In front of them, Jacob Ramsey, John McGinn and Morgan Rogers will be responsible for supporting Ollie Watkins, preferred to Marcus Rashford in the starting eleven. A time announced to evolve at the number 10 position, Marco Asensio should also be on the bench at the start of the game. In the opposing camp, Luis Enrique can count on his entire group, notably Marquinhos who returns after being suspended to go. The Brazilian will regain his place in the defense alongside Willian Pacho and the Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi side. All of them will have the mission of protecting the goals guarded by Gianluigi Donnarumma.

In this 4-3-3, the PSG coach will not change a formula that wins in the midfield. As to go, he will rely on the Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves trio. On the other hand, the former coach of FC Barcelona still has an uncertainty in attack. Indeed, he hesitates between Bradley Barcola, who should start on the right wing, and Désiré Doué, the man in the form of the moment. One two will accompany Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, holder on the left wing, and Ousmane Dembélé, aligned in the tip. A team that should give a hard time to Villans who hope to offer a comeback this evening at Villa Park.
