Sevilla are undefeated in their 11 home games against German clubs, but will be making their first appearance in the Champions League quarter-finals and manager Vincenzo Montella is hoping the experience will only improve his squad. "When you're in this kind of competition, opponents demand a lot of your mental and physical energy," he told a pre-match press conference. "We paid for it in La Liga but I like this situation and I think we're used to playing every three days against top opponents. It helps us reach a better level so we can take advantage of the talent of the team.
