Everton boss Roberto Martinez says they can handle next season's Europa League.
Martinez insists the Toffees can leave a major impression in the tournament having deservedly secured their qualification.
"I think we are ready for it - I do believe that it arrives at the right time," Martinez told evertontv.
"It feels like a real achievement and it's not like we got European qualification through the back door as a consequence of being fortunate.
"We worked really hard. We wanted to finish in the top four but we just missed out. But we had the right numbers - 72 points would have guaranteed Champions League in eight out of the last 10 seasons.
"So we are very excited and the young players will be looking forward to experiencing that for the first time. The experienced players, I think they are ready to be tested and be part of a very demanding season.
"So, all in all, as a football club we are ready to travel around Europe and show how far we can go."
