McGinn said: "Great performance, a good reaction from the weekend. It stung us. A chance to get a European quarter-finals for the first time in a long time.
"A good night at Villa Park and I'm delighted with some of the players on the scoresheet. A bit of a worry with Ollie Watkins and Diego Carlos - we'll see how they are.
"Its going to lift us definitely. it's been a tough few days. We didn't perform in the big game.
"Tonight was a big game. A big reaction needed. We showed a reaction.
"It's up there (with his best nights at Villa). We want to achieve more. Tonight we've given the fans one to remember but we don't want to stop here.
"We didn't want the journey to end tonight. Much better than the last two games for sure.
"I'm proud of them, it's been a tough few days. They need to rest up for Sunday."
