Paris Saint-Germain holds a solid advantage heading into the second leg of their 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal matchup against Aston Villa, following a 3-1 victory at the Parc des Princes on April 9.

What Does PSG Need to Advance?

To secure a spot in the semifinals, Luis Enrique's side has several favorable scenarios:

• Win or draw in the second leg
• Lose by one goal (e.g., 0-1, 2-3)
• Lose by two goals , as long as they score at least two goals (e.g., 2-4), which would keep them ahead on aggregate

A 2-0 loss would send the tie to extra time, while a defeat by more than two goals would result in elimination.

When and Where Is the Second Leg?

The second leg will take place on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. Kickoff times are:

• 9:00 PM CET (local time)
• 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT (USA)

Who Would Be Their Next Opponent?

The winner of this tie will face either Arsenal or Real Madrid in the semifinals. Arsenal holds a 3-0 lead from the first leg, with the return match also set for April 15.

After a strong showing in the first leg, PSG is well-positioned to return to the Champions League semifinals for the first time since the 2020-2021 season.
