Wolves striker Raul Jimenez was delighted with victory over Europa League opponents Olympiacos.

The Mexican's penalty proved to be the difference in an evenly-contested second leg at Molineux, with the goal being enough to send Wolves into the last eight and a tie with perennial Europa League winners Sevilla in Germany.

Raul declared: “It feels amazing being in the quarter-finals. We've had a long journey to be here, but now we have to face it knowing that it will be difficult, but we are playing for something and we want it.

“It's very big. After our first year in the Premier League we learned a lot, we achieved the Europa League, now this year, we made more points in the Premier League and now we're in the quarter-finals, we want it more.

“We want to keep going, keep doing this as we know and keep going like this.

“It's a long, long season. We started last year and now we are here, still with the same players, still with the same rhythm, now we try to achieve big things and we know that we can do it.

“Now we have to go to Germany, be focused on what's coming and then think about the next game."

On his rabona attempt, he added: “I like those kinds of shots, but one day I'm going to score. I'm going to keep going and sometimes it's better than other options, so I'm going to keep going."
