“The team is ready to write a new page in the history books,” Benitez told Sport Mediaset.
The first leg ended 1-1 at the San Paolo, so the Partenopei must score, but it has been raining heavily in Ukraine and this could make conditions difficult.
“We’ll see, it could turn out to be good and speed up the ball for our passing moves. We’ll have to see if the ball moves quickly or players fall over.
“My team talk? It was easy, I told them this is an historic opportunity. They must give everything.
“Reaching this stage after 26 years is an opportunity we cannot let slip. We must play and we must win.”
The Dnipro equaliser in the first leg was offside and Benitez said it was “no accident,” so what does he expect this evening?
“After the mistake everyone knows what happened and saw it on television. UEFA know how important this game is.
“We will aim to win, the team will give 100 per cent. We’ll see you in the Final.”
