Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo has admitted that tomorrow's Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid is the most important game of the season.

The Rojiblancos host the capital club on Wednesday evening, and go into the match with Diego Simeone's men 2-1 down from the first leg.

And the 27-year-old has stressed the importance of the tie, conceding that it is the be-all and end-all of their season.

“For us, this game is our season,” he told the club's official radio station. “We have a lot to do to fix things in the League, but a win here would open the gates to Europe.

“We appreciate what is at stake, but we are calm.”
