Ollie Watkins expressed his disappointment to Aston Villa manager Unai Emery for benching him in the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. Watkins came on as a substitute in both legs of the quarter-final tie, where Villa lost 5-4 on aggregate to PSG, with Marcus Rashford starting instead.

Watkins responded by playing a key role in Villa's 4-1 victory over Newcastle in the Premier League, contributing a goal and an assist. This win has put Villa back in contention for Champions League qualification.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Watkins mentioned his frustration at not starting against PSG, stating his desire to play in important matches like the Champions League. Despite respecting Emery's decision, Watkins emphasized his eagerness to contribute on the field.

Aston Villa manager Emery praised Watkins for his performance against Newcastle, highlighting his competitive spirit and positive response to being left out of the PSG match. Emery emphasized the importance of players showing determination and commitment in every game.

Emery had stated before the Newcastle match that he preferred players to be angry rather than sad when not selected. Watkins' outstanding display against Newcastle validated Emery's approach, with the striker showcasing his professionalism and dedication to the team.
