Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says his players should view the second leg of their Champions League showdown with Paris St-Germain as a chance to write themselves into the club's history books.

Villa, who won the European Cup in 1982, suffered a 3-1 defeat away to the Ligue 1 champions last week in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.

Emery acknowledge his side will have to "manage" the match at Villa Park on Tuesday "emotionally and tactically".

But the Spaniard also said his players have to "believe" they can overturn a two-goal deficit and progress to the semi-finals.
