Paris St -Germain is enjoying a season to remember, but knowing that one of the greatest dangers to realize their final dream could be a player currently on their books.
Fresh from the maintenance of the Ligue title 1The French team guest Aston Villa in the quarterfinals of the Champions League on Wednesday, facing the unusual perspective to come across one of his own to Marco Asensio.
The 29 -year -old Spain striker joined Villa on loan from PSG in January and was a revelation, with eight goals and an assist in his 11 games for Villans.
The form of Asensio helped the men of Una Emery to enjoy a winning race of seven games, which booked spot in the semifinal of the England Cup and the Champions League the last eight and touching distance from the top Four of the Premier League.
The PSG, however, is flying and could still conclude the season with four trophies.

“I am pleased to be able to play,” said Enrique, who also trained the former Real Madrid player when he was responsible for Spain.
“He was not getting the game time he wanted here and he had the opportunity to go to Birmingham. It’s nice that he is playing.
“I shared a lot with him with the national team. It came to the World Cup with me and it was very important, and it was important for us last season and at the beginning of this season. He is a high -level player.”
But the departure of PSG Rue Asensio, especially when he was part of the Real Madrid teams that won the Champions League three times?
“He worked very hard, making efforts for the team offensively every time he touches the ball,” said teammate Villa Youri Tielemans.
“His first cameo at Villa Park (in the victory of the England Cup on Tottenham) was brilliant, he has just slipped. He assumes responsibility with the ball. Out of the field he is really calm, really good and works very hard.
“When you look at it, you don’t think it’s a great worker because he is a ball player, but he does his really good job outside the ball and that’s what we need every player.”
