Our prediction for this Champions League match:
PSG will look to get their job done in the double-header with Aston Villa when the two teams face each other at Parc des Princes on Wednesday evening. Les Parisiens are seen as hot favourites to win the first leg, but boss Luis Enrique must warn his men against complacency. Key attacker Ousmane Dembele returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 1-0 win over Angers, while centre-back Marquinhos misses the first leg through suspension.
The Villans, on the other hand, are on a seven-game winning run in all competitions ahead of the trip to Paris, but with the Ligue 1 champions producing splendid performances in 2025, we predict that Unai Emery’s men are going to return to England empty-handed. It has to be noted that the two clubs meet for the first time in the elite competition. January signing Donyell Malen is ineligible for the Champions League, while both Ross Barkley and Leon Bailey are major doubts.
Highlighted Player (Youri Tielemans):

Youri Tielemans is a product of Anderlecht football academy. The prolific midfielder was born on May 7, 1997 in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw and he is regarded as one of the most talented Belgian players. Tielemans signed his first professional contract with Anderlecht at the age of 16 and in 2013 he made his first-team debut for the club.
The Belgian starlet came as a substitute in a 3-2 loss to Lokeren in the national championship. Youri Tielemans was making progress week by week and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular. The 176-cm-tall footballer scored 26 goals in 139 appearances in the league for Anderlecht and in 2017 he signed a five-year deal with Ligue 1 side Monaco.
Tielemans joined les Rouges et Blancs for a fee of around €25 million. Speaking of his international career, the Monaco midfielder made his senior debut for Belgium in a 1-1 draw with Netherlands (9.9.2016.). He came as a substitute ten minutes before the final whistle, replacing Steven Defour.
Highlighted Team (PSG):

Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
