Football: Navas desperate for another final

We want to play the final and we know it is going to be very difficult, says Navas.

MADRID: Sevilla midfielder Jesus Navas is looking forward to a huge night at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan today as Sevilla try to overcome a 2-1 first-leg deficit against Atletico Madrid to reach the Copa del Rey final.

Navas has fond memories of the last time the two met in the competition as Sevilla won the cup for the fifth time with a 2-0 victory over Los Rojiblancos in the 2010 final and he is desperate to get back to that stage after what has otherwise been a disappointing season for Sevilla.

“The feeling ahead of the game today is special,” said Navas. “We want to play the final and we know it is going to be very difficult, but also great to play in.”
