Roma defender Roger Ibanez admits nerves are increasing ahead of the Europa League final against Sevilla.

Roma left for Budapest this morning ahead of Wednesday night's clash.

Ibanez said: "I try to stay calm, but the anticipation is growing... I try to stay focused to absorb what the coach is trying to convey us about Sevilla.

"Let's say yes, it's a European final... It's more important than last year's Conference final, I've played other important matches but this is one of the most awaited.

"The fans want to win, trophies are important to them. The fans are very attached, it's important for the players to feel this support.

"People know how Sevilla are, a very strong team especially in this competition. But we too are strong and we really want to play in the final to win and give joy to our fans."
