Sevilla boss Unai Emery has admitted that it will be difficult for his team to overcome Barcelona in the European Super Cup next month.
Los Rojiblancos qualified for the showpiece event by winning the Europa League last season, and will face Champions League winners Barca in the final of the competition on August 11.
Emery has called Barca "the most demanding team in the world", but has insisted that his side can cause a surprise in Georgia.
"The first major objective is in Georgia where we face the most demanding team in the world at present," Emery told AS.
"It will be a challenge, but don't forget that if we are in the Super Cup, it's because we earned it."
Sevilla will continue their pre-season preparations against Werder Bremen on Saturday.
