spanish side sevilla have the chance to reach the last eight of the champions' league for the first time in their history when they take on fenerbahce at their ramon sanchez-pizuan stadium on tuesday. the turkish champions won 3-2 in istanbul two weeks ago thanks to a late winner from substitute semih senturk, but sevilla have two away goals up their collective sleeves and coach manolo jimenez will be confident that his fearsome striking duo of luis fabiano and frederic kanoute can breach the turkish defences. soundbite: (spanish) "we are going to try and be positive. if it all adds up and in the end, i hope we will be in this press room tomorrow talking about sevilla fc in the quarter-finals of the champions league. this will not just be important for sevilla and their fans but the city and also for spanish football in general - which will be a big step forward." fenerbahce's away record in european football is not an enviable one. outside of qualification matches, they have not won on their travels since november 2004, but this season creditable away draws in moscow and in holland against psv eindhoven have taken them into the knockout phase. however fenerbahce have lost all seven of their previous meetings with spanish clubs prior to the first leg, scoring only two goals and conceding twelve in the process. sevilla will be hoping that they revert to type on tuesday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ chosen soundbites for no-speak ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundbite: (spanish) "we are going to try and be positive. if it all adds up and in the end, i hope we will be in this press room tomorrow talking about sevilla fc in the quarter-finals of the champions league. this will not just be important for sevilla and their fans but the city and also for spanish football in general -

fenerbahce have a less than impressive record away from turkey while double uefa cup champions sevilla have been beaten just once at home in their last seventeen games in europe. suggested voiceover: the ramon sanchez-pizuan stadium will play host to little piece of history on tuesday night, as sevilla take on fenerbahce in the second leg of their champions' league last 16 tie. neither side have reached the last eight in europe's premier club competition before and so whoever emerges as the victors will have set a new club record. the turkish champions won 3-2 in istanbul two weeks ago thanks to a late winner from substitute semih senturk, but sevilla have two away goals up their collective sleeves and coach manolo jimenez will be confident that his fearsome striking duo of luis fabiano and frederic kanoute can breach the turkish defences. jimenez put his players through a light training session near the ground on the eve of the match and told the media that he would be going into the game in a positive frame of mind. soundbite: (spanish) "in reality we are losing on the away result and we are going to have to work hard to turn it around because a draw at home is not worth anything. they are the favourites following the win at home, but we don't feel inferior to fenerbahce or any other team, so we will go out with this attitude." supercaption: manolo jimenez, sevilla coach jimenez rested several key players at the weekend, as a second string sevilla lost 2-1 at deportivo la coruna and slipped to seventh place in the la liga table. midfielder seydou keita, winger diego capel and defenders ivica dragutinovic and julien escude - who scored in the first leg - all sat out the match, with luis fabiano just turning out for the second half. it's clear that jimenez is taking this game very seriously, but it's not just for sevilla - the coach says he's hoping to give a boost to the nation as a whole. soundbite: (spanish) "we are going to try and be positive. if it all adds up and in the end, i hope we will be in this press room tomorrow talking about sevilla fc in the quarter-finals of the champions league. this will not just be important for sevilla and their fans but the city and also for spanish football in general - which will be a big step forward." supercaption: manolo jimenez, sevilla coach although jimenez has obvious confidence in his forward line, he has made it clear that the team's defensive duties are just as important. sevilla have lost just once in seventeen home matches in europe and in that time have won the uefa cup and successfully defended it, a rare achievement. soundbite: (spanish) "obviously we have to go forward in the game and attack, but we don't want to leave our goal in danger and put ourselves in a more difficult situation than we are now." supercaption: manolo jimenez, sevilla coach fenerbahce's away record in european football is not an enviable one. outside of qualification matches, they have not won on their travels since november 2004, but this season creditable away draws in moscow and in holland against psv eindhoven have taken them into the knockout phase. sevilla goalkeeper andres palop is wary of the threat, but knows that his team has to go out and win the game. soundbite: (spanish) "we have to be intelligent in this game. we are going into the game a goal down and losing the game. that's what we are thinking about and we have to win it." supercaption: andres palop fenerbahce had lost all seven of their previous meetings with spanish clubs prior to the first leg, scoring only two goals and conceding twelve in the process. sevilla will be hoping that they revert to type on tuesday. shotlist: sevilla, spain. 3rd march, 2008 ramon sanchez-pizuan stadium, sevilla 1. 00:00 pan of exterior of ramon sanchez-pizuan stadium 2. 00:07 tilt up to sign saying 'sevilla futbol club' sport city training ground, sevilla 3. 00:16 wide shot of sevilla training session 4. 00:20 mid shot squad jog past, with strikers frederic kanoute and luis fabiano at the back 5. 00:35 mid shot sevilla coach manolo jimenez talking to players, with defender daniel alves looking on ramon sanchez-pizuan stadium, sevilla 6. 00:41 set-up shot of press conference 7. 00:46 soundbite: (spanish) manolo jimenez, sevilla coach madrid sport city training ground, sevilla 8. 01:03 various of sevilla squad stretching 9. 01:13 cutaway media 10. 01:17 various of jogging session 11. 01:25 close up sevilla striker frederic kanoute ramon sanchez-pizuan stadium, sevilla 12. 01:30 soundbite: (spanish) manolo jimenez, sevilla coach sport city training ground, sevilla 13. 01:49 various of stretching -
