Alternative Viewing Options

If you cannot access a local TV broadcast, there are a few official alternatives:

YouTube live commentary: Fans can follow live commentary on the Aston Villa Football Club YouTube channel.

UEFA’s Official Platforms: While UEFA’s own site/app doesn’t live-stream the full match due to broadcast rights, it offers live match commentary, statistics, and highlights. The UEFA Champions League website and UEFA mobile app provide minute-by-minute text updates and stats for free, and UEFA.tv (UEFA’s free streaming service) will have full match highlights available after the game​. This is a great way to follow the action if you don’t have a broadcast, albeit not a live video.

Radio Commentary: In some regions, you can listen live. For example, in the UK the match will have live radio commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT. Tuning into radio or online audio streams from official sports broadcasters can let you hear the live play-by-play.

Other Official Streams: Many of the TV broadcasters above have their own streaming services (e.g. Paramount+ in the US, DAZN, Discovery+ in UK, etc.). If you’re subscribed, you can stream via those apps on mobile or smart TV. Free trials may be available for services like Paramount+ or DAZN, which could be used to watch the match.

Public Viewing: Another option is to watch at a local sports bar or pub that is screening the game, or via fan gatherings or viewing parties organized by supporters’ clubs. These can provide a live viewing experience if you don’t have access at home (though this is of course in-person rather than online/TV).

Probable Starting Lineups

Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK); Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Beraldo, Yorbe Pacho, Lucas Hernández; Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz, Warren Zaïre-Emery; Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Gonçalo Ramos, Ousmane Dembélé.

– Notable absences: PSG captain Marquinhos is suspended for this first leg (yellow-card accumulation), so young defender Lucas Beraldo likely starts at center-back. Attacker Lee Kang-in has been nursing an ankle issue but returned to training; he might feature off the bench.

Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martínez (GK); Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Tyrone Mings, Lucas Digne; Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans; Marcus Rashford, Marco Asensio, Morgan Rogers; Ollie Watkins.

– Squad notes: Villa have almost a full squad available. Leon Bailey and Ross Barkley face late fitness tests (minor knock and long-term calf injury respectively) but even if unavailable, Villa’s XI is unaffected as they haven’t been regular starters. Donyell Malen and youngster Andres García are ineligible for this Champions League campaign (not registered in the squad), so they won’t feature. Manager Unai Emery is expected to stick with the lineup that got Villa this far, with January signing Rashford adding firepower up front alongside Watkins.

Both lineups above are projected based on team news and reports up to April 8. Final starting lineups will be confirmed about an hour before kickoff on matchday. The listed formations highlight PSG’s typical 4-3-3 setup versus Villa’s 4-2-3-1 shape, promising an intriguing tactical battle in Paris.
