Villa's Barry: Cracking Europe would be greatest achievement

Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry says playing in Europe next season would be the biggest achievement in his career.

The England midfielder said: "The club is buoyant at the moment.

"I have experienced quite a few low points at this club but it makes times like this, when things are going so well, even better. If I were to captain the club into Europe, that would be the best achievement of my career.

"I am looking forward to that happening but there is still a lot of hard work ahead.

"We have not achieved anything yet and this is now the most important part of the season. We have to keep our eye on the ball. There is still a lot of hard work ahead. No-one is getting carried away at the moment. The way we are playing at the moment, and the points we are picking up, means Europe is possible - but no-one is getting ahead of their station."
