The experience of reaching last season's UEFA Europa League semi-finals should help West Ham United this week.
The Hammers are set to take on KAA Gent in the Conference League quarter-finals in Belgium on Thursday.
Veteran West Ham boss David Moyes, who is under pressure due to domestic results, reaching the semis in the Europa League last term will stand them in good stead when they take on Gent.
Moyes told reporters: It's great that we are here and we're still in European competition.
For us it's a big achievement and long may it continue. We want to keep it going, but every round and every game you play is very tough.
I'd love to give the supporters another couple of nights like we did last year, but truly I'd like to go further if we can.
I've got big respect for Gent, like I do for all the teams we play. We have no divine right to get through. We have to work very hard for it and we've got to play well. We've got a two-legged tie to get through so we have to do a really good job and see if we're good enough to get to a semi-final.
I think every game, when you get to the knockout rounds, it gets really tough. Gent have had some big wins, an incredible win away in Istanbul, and they're on a good run as well, so we know it's going to be a tough game.
We're aware of the team and we've been to Belgium a couple of times recently, once this season and once the season before. We don't know everything about Gent but we certainly have done as much homework as we possibly can.
The big thing is for us to perform and continue to reach the standards which we have done in Europe this season. We're ten unbeaten in this competition, it's a really good record and we want to add to it if we can."
