Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic has called on his side to "enjoy" tonight's Europa League final against Benfica.

However, the Croatian has said that 'dreaming of lifting the trophy' is not enough and called on his teammates to overcome the Portuguese outfit.

"All the players worked hard to ensure we got to the final. It's a great moment for us and we need to enjoy it to the maximum and take the positives that we can from it," he told reporters at a press conference.

"I don't want to dream about lifting the trophy, I want to live it.

"I'm not going to put pressure on the team though because we need to enjoy it. If we can get through the match I will be prepared to lift the trophy, but there is still one more tough match before that happens."

Sevilla overcame Valencia in the semi-finals on away goals.
