Sevilla FC's head coach Vincenzo Montella on Monday vowed that his team would fight to the death in their upcoming Champions League quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich.
The Italian coach addressed a press conference on the eve of the home first leg against the Bavarian giants, in which the Andalusian team looks to make history by reaching the semi-finals for the first time, reports Efe.
"We will fight to the death, no doubt about it," Montella told the press.
"We always work with the intention of improving and that the team can improve day by day, game by game, regardless of whether our rival plays to a higher level," he added.
He said Bayern was used to dominating matches and scoring goals, but highlighted that Sevilla had the ability to disrupt that style of play, as was evident in the weekend's clash with Barcelona, which ended in a 2-2 only because of a last-minute comeback from the Catalan club with the help of its star Lionel Messi.
The second-leg of the Bayern fixture is to take place on Apr. 11, just three days before Sevilla play in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
The first-leg kicks off on Tuesday.
