Unai Emery admits Valencia are out for revenge against Atletico Madrid in Thursday's Europa League semi-final first-leg clash.

The Los Che chief insists winning the game and keeping a clean sheet ahead of the return leg are vital but he also pointed out that there is a history between the two clubs in the competition.
Nikola Zigic had a penalty appeal turned down after his shirt was virtually torn off his back by Juanito Gutierrez at the same stage of the competition back in 2010 and the tactician admitted that he wants his men to set the record straight.
"What we are thinking about now is not the shirt but revenge in a sporting sense," he said. "After that game they went on to become champions when it could have been us.
"Now we have a rematch with Atletico, a team similar to Valencia in many ways, with the same objectives and hopes of reaching and winning the final."
