Aston Villa manager Unai Emery believes his side are capable of a stunning Champions League fightback when Paris Saint-Germain travel to Birmingham for the second leg of their quarter-final on Tuesday defending a 3-1 lead. Despite seizing the advantage at the Parc des Princes last week, Emery's men were outclassed in a manner that has become customary for Luis Enrique's all-conquering French champions. Stunning strikes from Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia put PSG in front before Nuno Mendes added what could be the killer third goal in stoppage time. The size of the task facing Villa is considerable. PSG have won 17 of their last 18 games in all competitions, the only exception being a 1-0 first leg home defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League last 16, which they overturned at Anfield. They have not lost by more than one goal since October and only once in 47 matches this season. Yet Emery's own experience of being PSG boss has...

Tijjani Reijnders   is increasingly becoming a priority for   Man City   in their search for midfield reinforcements. Alongside Ederson, the Dutchman is now considered one of Pep Guardiola's top targets for the summer.  Reijnders has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 13 goals and providing four assists across all competitions for  AC Milan . His performances earned him a contract extension until 2030 with a salary increase, showing how highly the Rossoneri values him. However, if they fail to qualify for the Champions League they could look with greater fear at the club's financial situation. Man City had initially set a budget of €50 million for Tiji, but his consistent displays have pushed them to raise their budget to €60 million.
