Paris Saint-Germain have one foot in the UEFA Champions League semifinal as they take a 3-1 aggregate lead over Aston Villa to Villa Park next week.
The Ligue 1 winners have shown that they can travel to a Premier League club and pull out a result, as they did in the Round of 16 against Liverpool. Despite being down 1-0 on aggregate, PSG secured a 1-0 win in the 90 minutes and then won the tie via a penalty shootout.

If PSG holds onto its lead and advances past Unai Emery's squad, it will be 180 minutes away from a Champions League final. On Thursday, talkSPORT's Jim White stated that the French giants are primed to win this competition.
I think PSG, Simon [Jordan]—for the first time—I've got a look at potential winners. I really do. You know how they've hit the bar? They've been close. They've been so close. I think this time—yes—they're ready to win it.Jim White
Before thinking about a second Champions League final appearance in club history, PSG would need to advance past the winner of the Arsenal-Real Madrid tie.
The Gunners have a 3-0 aggregate lead heading to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Should the Premier League side advance, it would set up a rematch from the league phase, in which Arsenal secured a 2-0 win.

However, if Real Madrid pull off the comeback and advance it puts Kylian Mbappe against his former club with so many focused on the storylines on and off the pitch.
