Paris Saint -Germain was excellent last week, as they were hitting Liverpool in the last 16, and they made the favorite by many to raise the cup in the end this season.

But Emery expects a difficult test in West Midlands.

Emery said: “The draw has not ended yet, as it is still open. It will be difficult,” Emery said. “We are ready to suffer if necessary to get our goal and win this match.

“At the end of the match, there will be only one team in the semi -finals and the other team outside. This is the beauty of the competition.

“Aston Villa is now, but the tie is still very open and knows both teams. There is no excessive confidence on our side, we have a motivation to overcome the problems that Aston Villa can put us and reach our goal of winning the match.

“When people talk about the preferred before the match … the Champions League road is full of the preferences that were left. We knew that we were better and walked to win the first stage, but there is a second story. Who will win tomorrow?

“We have an advantage, but we do not speculate with certainty. If Aston Villa is better than us, they can overcome us, so we need to show that we deserve to be in the semi -finals.”
