Aston Villa is preparing for another season of European football in 2025/26, competing in the Europa League under the management of Unai Emery.
The team`s aspiration for consecutive appearances in the Champions League concluded on the final matchday of the Premier League season at Old Trafford. Their defeat included a contentious disallowed goal by Morgan Rogers.
