PSG are the two-time reigning, defending European champions after winning the UEFA Champions League back-to-back under Luis Enrique. Goncalo Ramos and Lee Kang-in have departed already and rumors continue to swirl around Bradley Barcola and Desire Doue. Maghnes Akliouche was signed from Monaco for $57 million, further adding to PSG's embarrassment of riches in midfield. If they stay healthy, they'll be there are the business end of the season once again.
Aston Villa ended their 30-year major trophy drought by winning the Europa League, but the ensuing summer has been anything but enjoyable for Unai Emery. Morgan Rogers (Chelsea, $157 million), Youri Tielemans (Manchester United, $47 million) and Lucas Digne (PSG, $11 million) are out the door, on top of Amadou Onana tearing his ACL at the World Cup. Joao Gomes has been signed as a Premier League-ready replacement from relegated Wolves and Johan Manzambi was one of the breakout stars of the World Cup, but it could be a rocky road early in the season.

PSG vs Aston Villa prediction
Get ready for one of the ugliest, grimiest, grittiest defensive performances you've ever seen from Aston Villa. They're in no position to trade attacking blows with PSG, and Emery knows it better than anyone. And it still won't matter. PSG 2-0 Aston Villa.
