Raul Jimenez believes Wolves still have more to achieve in their marathon season

Raul Jimenez believes Wolves should target Europa League glory after firing them into the quarter-finals – in a season that has lasted more than a year.

The striker's penalty booked a last eight showdown with Sevilla as Wolves beat Olympiacos 2-1 on aggregate, the 1-0 win at Molineux enough to squeeze into the tournament's one-off format in Germany.

Wolves' season started on July 25, 2019, but Jimenez called for them to keep going with silverware on the line.

He said: "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 learnt 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."

Jimenez hit his 27th goal of the season, after goalkeeper Bobby Allain felled Daniel Podence, to send Wolves into the last eight of a European competition for the first time since 1972.

"This goal means everything. It's everything we were going through, for the whole season. Since the beginning we were training, we were working hard," he said.

"We started the Europa League in the qualification rounds and have had a big, big season, but we have to keep going."

Five-time winners Sevilla beat Roma 2-0 and finished fourth in La Liga this season.

Wolves need to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League or they face no European football next season but Jimenez is aware of the challenge they face in Duisburg on Tuesday.

He said: "We know it's going to be tough, it's going to be difficult. We know that they are a good team and they play good, but we play as a team, as a group, as a family, like we were playing all the season.

"They are a very good team but I think we can achieve very good things, and we have very good players to face them."

What is hepatitis?

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, which can lead to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer.

There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E.

Hepatitis C is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This can occur through blood transfusions, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injecting drugs. Sexual transmission is also possible, but is much less common.

People infected with hepatitis C experience few or no symptoms, meaning they can live with the virus for years without being diagnosed. This delay in treatment can increase the risk of significant liver damage.

There are an estimated 170 million carriers of Hepatitis C around the world.

The virus causes approximately 399,000 fatalities each year worldwide, according to WHO.
