of Juventus, proclaiming the Italian club are on the same
level as Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Emery's Sevilla host the Serie A giants in Champions League
action on Tuesday, with Juventus already certain of
qualifying from Group D.
A home win for Sevilla secures them a place in the Europa
League - a competition they have won for the past two
seasons - provided Borussia Monchengladbach do not
manage the same result against Manchester City.
Emery knows his team face a stiff test to keep their
European campaign alive, but can draw on the experiences
of beating both Barcelona and Madrid in La Liga this
season.
"The group has been very difficult; the favourites [Juventus
and Manchester City] have taken the top two places," he
said at a pre-match media conference.
"Juventus are at the same level as Real Madrid and
Barcelona – we want to show the level of performance we
displayed against those two teams.
"We all wanted to continue in the Champions League, being
eliminated is disappointing and my goal is to play in this
competition again next season."
Emery added: "We have to beat Juventus to have a chance
of playing in the Europa League, which is a competition that
has given a lot to us."
