Hull City's final two Premier League games are equivalent to Champions League finals as the club fight to avoid relegation, on-loan defender Andrea Ranocchia said ahead of Sunday's encounter against Crystal Palace.
Hull's 2-0 loss to Sunderland last week left them one point adrift of safety in 18th position and they travel to 16th-placed Palace, who are four points ahead, before hosting second-placed Tottenham Hotspur in their last game.
And with even two wins not enough to guarantee the Tigers' safety, Ranocchia knows that every performance has to be perfect from now.
'We've got two games to play and they are the equivalent of two Champions League finals,' Ranocchia told the club's website.
