McGinn emphasized that Aston Villa still aspire to achieve more.

Aston Villa will travel to the Red Bull Stadium in 2026 to compete against Paris Saint-Germain for the UEFA Super Cup. Scottish star John McGinn stated that although Aston Villa is considered to have reached its limit, he emphasized that the team still possesses the determination to achieve more.

In the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League final, Aston Villa defeated Freiburg 3-0 with goals from Tielemans, Buendia, and Morgan Rodgers to win the title. In addition, Emery led Aston Villa to a fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season.

For French Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, Enrique's team defeated Arsenal 4-3 on penalties in the Champions League final, successfully defending their title.

When asked about his expectations for the new season, Aston Villa captain McGinn said, "It's pretty much the same as the past few seasons. I think we've always been competing against the best teams in England, and no matter what competition we're in, we've always been facing the best teams in Europe."

"Of course we will face challenges, and the team has undergone a lot of changes. But if you look at other clubs in England, they have also experienced a lot of changes, including many teams changing managers and many players changing."

McGinn stated, "However, we still have the core elements, including the same head coach and the same tactical philosophy, as well as the determination to achieve more. A few years ago, many people thought we had reached our limit, but we proved them wrong."

"We still have the same hunger and ambition to achieve more, and as long as we maintain this desire and determination, Aston Villa fans can expect us to achieve as much as possible."
