Granada attacker Yangel Herrera says the players are full of pride to be playing for a place in the Europa League quarterfinals.

Granada meet Molde tonight in the second-leg of their round of 16 tie, with on-loan Manchester City midfielder Herrera having already scored five goals in the competition.

He declared, “I think that neither the most optimistic nor the most positive person in the world could imagine that Granada were experiencing this beautiful event.

"A newly promoted team that made it to the qualifying round. One year later, being on this stage makes me feel proud of the way the team works and the things we are achieving together.

“I'm super happy and proud to have returned to Granada and to be living these experiences with these great people. The team has a lot of merit. Our focus has to be on the game and go out to win. Trying to get through the tie and keep making history."
