Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk head coach Myron Markevych has admitted that his side are "nervous" ahead of this evening's Europa League final against Sevilla.

The Ukrainian side will appear in their first ever European final in Warsaw having overcome tournament favourites Napoli over two legs in the last four.

They once again find themselves as underdogs going into their match against holders Sevilla, but Markevych is confident that his side's defence can cope with the La Liga outfit.

"If I said the boys weren't nervous, I'd be lying, but it's important we forget that," he told reporters.

"Sevilla can create a lot of chances but my defence has been at a high level so we can neutralise them. Sevilla have a similar style to Napoli, so that helps us a lot."

Dnipro have already knocked out Olympiacos, Ajax and Club Brugge in addition to Napoli on their way to the showpiece event.
