Valencia captain Dani Parejo knows he faces a massive test against Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante tonight.

A victory for either side will earn them a place in the last 16 of the Champions League, while defeat would leave them staring down the barrel of elimination to the Europa League.

"Of course we did a great job and played a great game to win there you have to be perfect, especially in this tournament," Parejo said.

"(Kante) is a great footballer. He proved it during his season in Leicester. He's a great player, a very important player.

"But they have (many) amazing players. Not only Kante there is Jorginho, (Mateo) Kovacic, Willian and we have amazing players."

He added: "We are ready to compete against anybody this has to be a final for us."
