@jmcginn7 Super John McGinn. We are all in a state of euphoria. I can't even imagine how you feel, having poured everything into this and having captained the mighty Villa to glory. What a ride!
We are so proud of you, and proud to have you as the captain.
You are a LEGEND!

Wow.. no words to describe how I’m feeling right now. What a journey we have been on together and now again we can call Aston Villa EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!! I never in my wildest dreams thought I would play for a club the size of Villa but to help lead them to a major European trophy makes me the proudest guy alive!! UP THE VILLA 💜💜💜

@eurofootcom And one of the best club crests in world football to boot.

@MatKendrick So kind of you and @DanRolinson to make time to take pictures with fans.
True ambassadors of the mighty Villa!

@TheVillaPodcast Absurd strikes.
Beautiful technique from Tielemand.
What a peach from our once-upon-time record signing.
UTV!

@HabZ360 I was so worried for the second leg against Forest.
But I am with you, today has just been euphoria and excitement.
And now at halftime...Just incredible.
Love this team and Unai.

I'm not nervous. I'M EXCITED!
It's strange because having supported the Villa for 32 years, I should really know better 😅
Yes, we could end up "doing a villa" again, but this time... I BELIEVE!
These lads have blown our collective minds over the last 4 years under Unai. I have seen games that have left me in sheer disbelief.
But the moment I knew this team was special was when we beat City at VP the first time under Emery. The way we moved, passed and dominated left me stunned. It did not compute in my brain. It actually didnt make sense. My eyes swelled watching us play them off the park and it wasn't even 30 minutes into the game. I knew we'd win that day and when Bailey scored... Wow.
This is the feeling I'm getting from this game. Its a feeling thats been repeated over and over again. Arsenal a few days after that city game. Bayern for the UCL. PSG at home. Arsenal at home this season. And of course Forest and LFC in the last few weeks.
As fans we know our club better than any pundit or talking head. Dibu said it out loud in the presser yesterday... We have spent the least of any club and in those terms have no right to be where we are. But these lads EARNED IT. THEY FOUGHT FOR IT. We hear over and over how Unai is obsessed with matches and strategy and planning. And this game? Its the biggest. I trust the lot of them.
Now I know some are questioning if the lads will turn up today. Spurs, Go Ahead Eagle, Olympiacos and definitely Palace at Wembley last season... They've broken our hearts before. But this is truely different. The last Final we reached was under Dean Smith and our striker was Ally flipping Samatta! These lads are different gravy.
Ezri's letter hit each and every one of us in the feels yesterday. My wife, whose a primary school teacher that has no interest in footy told me how her colleagues were welling up reading it and how hyped they felt. Theres something special in the air. Theres a togetherness on a level I haven't seen with our club before.
So to each and every one of my fellow Villans, whether you're in Instanbul, Birmingham, Canada, Ghana, Austrailia, the States, Iraq, Bangladesh, Spain, Brazil orbthe surface of the sun... Whether you're at the stadium, watching it on a big screen somewhere or at home with your loved ones...
UP THE VILLA!!!! 👊🏾🦁

@danbardell I'm going to venture a guess that both of you are enjoying this quite a bit.
This is euphoric.

@JayVtid He did all the hard work.
I've sometimes wondered why Digne starts over Maatsen. Now it's clear.

@TyBracey Maybe the inconsistency is a feature, not a bug.
English

@AVFCStatto Kyle Walker's studs didn't rip Emi Buendia's sock quite enough, and the boot didn't fly into the stands. It stayed on just a tad too much.
Good process.

@danbardell @TomJsays @DanRolinson I loved those day so much. You guys were a bright spot in what was a difficult time being a Villa fan.
The Villa View was the first Villa fan media I discovered, and still my favorite.
Legends of the game.

Just popped up on my phone memories @TomJsays.
The Villa View booth days.
Struggling to set a camera up, sending @DanRolinson footage through late at night.
Questionable haircut as well, but enough about Tom.

@LoveMcGrathpod Couldn't have said it better.
Magnificent!
