Paris Saint-Germain are a well-oiled machine as they have yet to lose domestically and are 90 minutes away from reaching the UEFA Champions League semifinal.
As a result, some will ask whether this is the best team these players have ever played on, especially if they can finish the job and win the treble. On Tuesday, PSG have a chance to take that fast team, holding a 3-1 aggregate lead over Aston Villa.
The Parisians will look to clinch a tie at a Premier League stadium for the second straight round after eliminating Liverpool in their home ground in the Round of 16.

Ahead of Tuesday’s clash between Aston Villa and PSG, Ousmane Dembele spoke to the media on Monday and the Frenchman was asked whether this Parisian team is the best he’s ever been. Instead of saying yes, he noted that it’s hard to say yes when he’s played with Lionel Messi at Barcelona.
“Yes, I’ve played on some great teams (Borussia Dortmund, FC Barcelona), Rennes was also a great team.” Dembele said (h/t Canal Supporters). “I don’t know if it’s the best team because I played at Barça with Lionel Messi, the greatest player of all time for me, but it’s one of the teams I’ve enjoyed playing for the most.”
