Diego Capel has claimed that Sevilla must defeat Real Madrid to prove their critics wrong and strike fear in the Primera Liga.

"We know that if we win on Sunday, it will have been a big shock and you could say that we have arrived," Capel reasoned to Marca.

"But it will be a difficult game because they are also doing well. We are ambitious, but we don't want to talk too much. We want to be up there, playing football and going step by step. That's our success."

Jesus Navas had previously declared that he would love nothing more than Cristiano Ronaldo playing against Los Nervionenses to give the game more glamour, and Capel agreed with him.

"He is obviously a very important player for them. If he doesn't play, it will be a big loss, but we must concentrate on our own team. If he doesn't that's better [for us], but if he does then it's better for the spectacle.

"We know that it will be a difficult game but we will go out and give 100 per cent. We are playing at home and we want to get the three points."
