Unai Emery Relishes Aston Villa's 'Huge Challenge' Against PSG

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is relishing the prospect of taking on Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League as the English former winners seek to end the French side's quest for continental glory. "Aston Villa is a historic club that won the European Cup in 1982 and of course it is very special in football," Emery pointed out at a press conference in Paris on Tuesday on the eve of the first leg. "When I arrived at Villa two-and-a-half years ago I knew this history. Of course my challenge at that moment was to compete for trophies, and to get back into Europe. To be in the Champions League is really amazing but maintaining consistency is the next challenge.

Late Davide Frattesi Strike Gives Inter Milan Edge Over Bayern Munich In Champions League

An 88th-minute Davide Frattesi goal took Inter Milan to a 2-1 win at Bayern Munich on Tuesday, giving the Italians the edge after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Inter opened the scoring on the 38-minute mark when Marcus Thuram's clever back-heel found Lautaro Martinez who blasted home. The Italians maintained control until Bayern veteran Thomas Mueller, days after announcing a summer departure after 25 years at the club, scored the equaliser with a typical poacher's finish with five minutes remaining.
