Villarreal goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo has called on the club's supporters to help their challenge to reach the final of the Copa del Rey.

The Yellow Submarine welcome Barcelona for the second leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, currently trailing 3-1 from the first leg.

Asenjo has conceded that it will be tough against the Catalan outfit, but is confident that his side can cause a shock.

"I ask the fans to come to the stadium and support this team. I think we deserve it," Asenjo told reporters.

"This is team that always gives their all and we'll try to get through to the final. We know it will be tough but I think we'll get chances and if we pull together we can do well.

"We must play a very good game so it's important for everyone that we go into it in the hope of continuing our good form."

Villarreal will enter the match off the back of a 1-1 draw away to Real Madrid at the weekend.
