Taras Stepanenko is confident Shakhtar Donetsk is ready for Sevilla as it looks for Europa League revenge on Thursday.
Sevilla may be the most successful side in Europa League history but Taras Stepanenko is confident Shakhtar Donetsk can upset the two-time defending champion.
Unai Emery's side is preparing for the first leg of its third successive semifinal appearance on Thursday, with just one defeat in its last 12 matches in the competition, which it has won four times.
The two sides met in the competition in 2007, then in the guise of the UEFA Cup, when a dramatic conclusion saw Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop score to take the game into extra time, before Javier Chevanton grabbed the decisive goal.
