Aston Villa will have to suffer in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at newly crowned French champions Paris St Germain but the Birmingham side are targeting a win in Wednesday's tie, midfielder Morgan Rogers said.
Rogers scored the opener in Villa's 2-1 Premier League win over third-placed Nottingham Forest on Saturday, their seventh straight victory in all competitions.
"We obviously understand that we're against a colossal side in PSG and we know it's going to be difficult. We know we're going to have to suffer in the game," Rogers said.
"They've got world-class players all around the team. But at the same time, we're there to win the tie at the end of the day.
"We're in there for a reason. We've got to the quarter-final for the way we've played and how we've been in the competition."
Winger Marco Asensio, on loan from PSG, has had a major impact on Villa's campaign while Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford has also enjoyed a good run of form.
