Aston Villa Sets Sights on Major Silverware
With two wins under their belt in the Champions League, Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery is confident that his team is ready to compete for major silverware. The Birmingham-based side has qualified for European football’s elite competition for the first time since the 1982-83 season and is eager to make a lasting impression.
Villa Park Prepares for Bologna

You can’t waste your time here,” he told a news conference on Monday. With a clear objective in mind, Emery aims to keep his team at the same level, competing in the Champions League and adding more to become title contenders.
Building a Strong Mentality
Emery’s vision for his team goes beyond just participating in the competition. He wants Aston Villa to be a regular fixture in the Champions League, and to achieve this, they need to develop a strong mentality. “We want to achieve the objectives and one of them is to play in the Champions League. It is not about playing there only because of some circumstances — I want us to stay there for a long time,” he said. By working together and creating a resilient mindset, Emery believes his team can overcome any obstacles and break barriers.

This is my challenge, this is my objective now.”
