Benfica midfielder Nicolas Gaitan has said that it is his "dream" to win the Europa League.

The Portuguese giants will confront Chelsea in the final at the Amsterdam ArenA on Wednesday.

You've been watching this since you were a child and now it is a reality and you've made it," he told UEFA.com.

"I am very happy, because you dream about this as a child. Now that we are here, we want to win it, and I am sure it's the same for Chelsea."

Gaitan joined Benfica from Boca Juniors in 2010.
