Unai Emery is looking forward to a “special” night at Villa Park on Tuesday for everyone connected with Aston Villa.
The Villans host Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of our UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
Emery’s side will be looking to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the first leg in Paris as they bid to make the semi-finals of the prized European competition.
Villa head into the eagerly-awaited encounter unbeaten in 17 matches in B6 stretching back to late November.
And it promises to be another memorable European night under the lights, with Emery hoping Villa Park is bursting with positive energy.
“We are going to enjoy on Tuesday at Villa Park something very special; very, very special for our supporters, for us,” said the Villa manager.
“The possibility and opportunity we have to try to face PSG and try to come back (from) the result.
“Of course, it’s going to be difficult, but we have to feel strong at home and try to prepare as best as possible for the match.
“And try to transmit our energy, to get the supporters’ energy and then play the best football.
“When we are playing this year the best football, we can get it.”
The Villans head into the encounter on the back of Saturday’s 3-0 triumph at Southampton, an eighth victory in the club’s last nine matches.
Villa Park will play host to its first quarter-final among Europe’s elite since 1983.
And following some unforgettable nights over the last two years against the likes of Bayern Munich, Celtic, Club Brugge, Ajax, LOSC Lille and more, the Claret and Blue faithful are set to come together as one yet again to create another spine-tingling atmosphere.
“We have to share our momentum on Tuesday with our supporters at Villa Park, it’s always so, so special,” said Emery.
“Try to feel a really strong energy, positive energy on the field and in the stadium.
“Enjoy, play and try to play our best football to try and get closer to achieving our objectives in the Champions League.”
