Villarreal coach Unai Emery says they know the importance of Sunday's clash with Sevilla.

Villarreal need victory to stay in contention for European qualification.

Emery said, "Sunday's game against Sevilla is going to be decisive, given how we will look at the table after: a lot depends on winning or losing, what the other teams do… But the most important thing is that we do everything ourselves to not have to depend on anyone else. We need to try and be aware of the importance to do as best as possible, because Sevilla are having a very good season.

“From Tuesday to Sunday, you're capable of recovering emotionally and physically, even if we played a semi-final. Today, we have done a more fun training session, and tomorrow we will focus on the match.

"LaLiga has been the priority, from Matchday 1 until Matchday 38. We all get excited about the Copa del Rey and the European competitions, but we need to be in Europe next year. The top four get the biggest rewards, but the other teams, such as us, want to be stable on the pitch and economically."
