Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has insisted the Premier League side have "massive belief" they can upset Paris Saint-Germain and advance to the Champions League semifinals at Villa Park on Tuesday.

Villa took the lead in the quarterfinal first leg through Rogers but PSG hit back through Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nuno Mendes to win 3-1.

"There's massive belief in the dressing room," Rogers said. "I know most people wrote us off before this tie. But in the first leg, we gave a good account of ourselves.

"Of course, there are things that we needed to improve on but we know [PSG] now. There is a task on our hands.

"Under the lights at home in the quarterfinals of this competition, there's not many better places to be.

"If anyone is going to turn it around, it is going to be us. It's down to us and we are excited for that challenge.

"It's going to be difficult and I am not saying that we are going to do it, but we will definitely give it a shot and go out there to win."

Villa boss Unai Emery said his side must make home advantage count and draw energy from their supporters.

"PSG have a lot of experience playing in away matches. They are playing in France and Europe and we have experience as well," Emery stated.

"But we will be connecting with our supporters and transmitting the energy ... If we do, tactically and individually, good things on the field, the supporters are going to up our energy and help us a lot.

"They are going to transmit that energy always for our players."

Emery said Villa would stick to their gameplan, adding: "Our expectation is to get a good result of the second leg. Of course the fact that they won 3-1 is changing something. But a lot? No. Why? Because we have to win.

"We had to win with 2-1 and with 3-1 now. But now, we have to win with one more goal ... We played how we wanted to in Paris but the result obviously wasn't what we hoped for. If we are winning, we can be close.

"Our objective is to play with one strong plan in our tactical way tomorrow and try to be consistent and try to understand how the match is going in 90 minutes."

The Spaniard said striker Ollie Watkins, who has started one of Villa's last five matches due to a knee issue, was in fine form despite his lack of minutes, pointing to his goal off the bench in a 3-0 Premier League win at Southampton on Saturday.

"He showed us he is feeling fantastic. He is scoring goals. He played 30 minutes performing really well (against Southampton)," Emery added.

"This is the variety we have with our players. We have to try to use their quality to help the team -- be it 30 minutes, 10 minutes or five minutes. That is the mentality we need."
