We&#8217;re going to do absolutely everything. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have that as a target to get the Champions League spot for next year. But then also, at the same time, we put that pressure on ourselves to do that. But at the same time, we also have to be very aware that we have to be in the here and now, and enjoy what we&#8217;re doing together, because this group will never be the same again. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be players and staff leaving at the end of the season. So we really want to cherish these moments that we have together and make the absolute most out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<article data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"6962ea88-8e60-468d-b2c8-b64fb6e5938e\" data-embed-button=\"article_embed\" data-entity-embed-display=\"view_mode:node.tiny\" data-langcode=\"en\" data-entity-embed-display-settings=\"()\" class=\"embedded-entity u-spacing-down--xxl\">\n<article data-article-id=\"127751\" about=\"\/news\/every-word-renees-pre-aston-villa-presser-2\">\n<div class=\"article-card article-card--tiny card\" data-eq-pts=\"xsmall: 200, small: 550, medium: 640, large: 768\">\n<div class=\"card__content\">\n<p>\n         <span class=\"h6 article-card__subhead\">Read more<\/span>                             <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-card__title\" title=\"Every word of Ren\u00e9e\u2019s pre-Aston Villa presser\"><span class=\"article-card__title-words\">  Every word of Ren\u00e9e\u2019s pre-Aston Villa presser <\/span><br \/>\n          <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/article>\n<p>Aston Villa go into this game ninth in the WSL with five wins, five draws and 10 defeats from 20 matches, scoring 27 goals and conceding 43 &#8211; the second worst defensive record in the division.<\/p>\n<p>So what challenges are we expecting from this weekend\u2019s trip to Villa Park, compared to last season\u2019s difficult outing in Birmingham?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there are similarities, but also differences between our last two seasons,\u201d Ren\u00e9e added. \u201cI think the similarities are Lyon in the semi-final, so the actual schedule, and the games right between and after. So that was Brighton and Villa as well. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we expect from Villa, it&#8217;s their last home game for the season. I think they want to finish it well at home, in front of their own fans. What exactly they are going to present to us, let&#8217;s see, both tactically and personnel-wise. Let&#8217;s see who&#8217;s available for them, and how they&#8217;re going to attack the game. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ll have to be dynamic, but we&#8217;ve been talking about focusing on our own game anyway, because we&#8217;re so good when we&#8217;re at our best, so we want to bring our own best game, regardless of (the) opponent\u2019s tactical plan, so doing our basics really well tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
