Three news conferences for the price of one there.
Here is the final word from John McGinn, on whether to be Aston Villa captain and reach the Europa League final is his proudest moment:
“Now? I would say so, yeah. It has been a brilliant journey, full of ups and downs, close moments, very close to going back to the Championship.
“It fills me with pride as to where the club is now and it also fills me with pride as to where this club could go, like the manager has touched upon, this isn’t something we want to come here, celebrate and have a fanfare, we want to be focussed on this match, we know how good Freiburg are.
“We know how difficult it is to get to a final, so we will treat them with the respect they deserve.
“We will only build as a club if we keep doing the same things we are doing.
“But if you ask me on a personal level, throughout the years I have been here, definitely this is the proudest moment as captain here.”
