Michael Laudrup: 'We don't fear any side in Europe'

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup claims that his side can beat anyone ahead of their Europa League clash with Valencia.

Michael Laudrup has insisted that his Swansea City side will not fear anyone ahead of their Europa League opener against Valencia.

The Swans make the trip to Spain to begin their campaign in the group stage after coming through qualification, and Laudrup has backed his team to surprise a few clubs this season.

"I already know we can beat anyone in this competition," Laudrup told reporters.

"We play against teams like Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United, teams at the same level as Valencia so there is no reason why we cannot beat Valencia in a one-off game.

"It is an away game against the favourite in the group and we can look forward to it with no pressure at all. We have nothing to lose and all to win."

Swansea beat Malmo and Petrolul Ploiesti to progress to the group stage.
