Watkins Benched Again as Villa Struggles to Overturn PSG Deficit

Posted : 16 April 2025

Aston Villa's top scorer, Ollie Watkins, was left on the bench by manager Unai Emery in their Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, despite needing to overturn a 3-1 deficit.

 
Watkins, who scored in Villa's 3-0 win at Southampton, has found himself on the bench for five of the last six matches, with Emery opting for Manchester United loanee
Marcus Rashford up front.

 
PSG's Luis Enrique made two changes, with Marquinhos returning from suspension and Desire Doue dropped in favor of Bradley Barcola.
