Ollie Watkins seeks start for Aston Villa vs PSG after goal

Ollie Watkins is under pressure to secure a starting position for Aston Villa as they face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals, following a 3-1 defeat in the first leg. Despite scoring 15 goals this season, Watkins has been relegated to the bench in recent matches, primarily due to the arrival of Marcus Rashford. His recent performance against Southampton, where he scored a crucial goal after coming off the bench, has reignited his hopes of starting against PSG. Manager Unai Emery acknowledges the competitive nature of the team and the need for multiple players per position to achieve their goals. Watkins expressed his disappointment at not starting but remains determined to make an impact whenever called upon. His ability to contribute significantly could be pivotal for Villa as they aim for success in both the Champions League and Premier League.
