PSG has marked the spirits against Liverpool. By dropping the leader of the Premier League, considered by many to be the main favorite for the final victory in the Champions League, the capital's club blew observers. Even more than the result is the way, especially during the first round disputed at the Parc des Princes, which impressed.
PSG seems to have changed dimension and is now among the favorites for victory. According to the statistical predictions of OPTA, PSG is now 19.3% chance of winning the Champions League 2024-2025. Only FC Barcelona is better placed than PSG with 23.1% chance.
Opposed in the quarterfinals to Aston Villa, PSG therefore leaves with the favors of the forecasts. And for Daniel Riolo, an elimination even seems inconceivable. “If we remain rational, it is difficult to imagine that it can happen something other than victory in the first leg and almost the qualification guaranteed, but almost even victory over the two games, because Aston Villa is only 7th in the Premier League, and that you eliminated the first by dominating it completely in the game”he entrusted to the microphone of RMC.
The defense of Aston Villa suffering against PSG?
“Aston Villa is a team that defensively has a lot of problems that has a hard time doing clean Sheets this season, even if it has a very good goalkeeper. She has revengeful players, ok, but I can't see when they will be able to annoy this PSG who is confident and perhaps not even in an overrinting so mentally it works well ”, he continued.
Aston Villa nevertheless has some arguments to assert the first row of which his series of eight wins in rank, all competitions combined. On Saturday, the men of Unai Emery dominated Nothingham Forrest, third of the Premier League.
