Aston Villa manager Unai Emery will get a shot at redemption for the lowest point of his stellar European career when he faces former club Paris St-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final.
This master operator ensured Villa completed the formalities of a last-16 win over Club Brugge with the minimum of fuss as a routine 3-0 win at Villa Park gave them a 6-1 aggregate victory.
It sets up a mouth-watering meeting with PSG, conquerors of Liverpool and the coming force in this season's Champions League, for a place in the semi-final.
For Emery, it is the chance to take Villa's dream even deeper into the tournament, but it is also an opportunity to heal the scars left behind following his mixed two years in charge at PSG.
