Ever since Ollie Watkins gained national acclaim by firing England to a major tournament final, it feels as though he has struggled to find his bearings again.
Nine months have passed since Watkins' winner against the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-final, when he showed he could deliver under the most intense pressure.
A similar career-defining moment would come in handy against Paris Saint-Germain, and not only for Aston Villa's chances of reaching the Champions League semi-finals. Even though Watkins has 15 goals and 12 assists this term, he has sometimes struggled to find peak form after barely having a break for two years.
