Valencia manager Gary Neville has said that confidence is now running high after his side made it four wins in a row in all competitions.
Los Che defeated Rapid Vienna 4-0 in Austria to seal a 10-0 aggregate win in their Europa League last-32 tie, adding to back-to-back La Liga wins following a torrid run of form.
"I think the professionalism and the attitude and the mentality is something that I was most happy with tonight," Neville told reporters afterwards. "The performance was very good, but I think when you come into a game like this, the main question I asked the players today at lunchtime was about their professionalism, their mentality and their attitude towards the match.
"I said we had two jobs - one was to complete the tie, but I also wanted momentum to keep going and I wanted a good performance. Thankfully tonight we got both. After the game, my words to them were - well done, eat and drink now!
"The big thing of today [was] to keep the momentum going. Four wins is good for us, but you recognise we have a big week - we have Bilbao, Malaga and Atletico Madrid - so it's a big week for us but the confidence going into this week is good. All the players are playing, all the players are fresh, you've seen the players tonight play very, very well and in good form."
Valencia welcome Athletic Bilbao to the Mestalla on Sunday looking to move into the top half of the table.
