Valencia midfielder Andre Almeida urged calm after defeat to Real Mallorca.

Valencia meet Espanyol on Sunday knowing three points would secure LaLiga survival.

Almeida said, "With three points we would have ensured survival. It was a highly contested match in midfield, with few opportunities for either side. We have to keep going and be positive, because in three days' time we have another final to play.

"We are above the other teams, therefore we have to be positive. At home we are very strong and we are going to go for the three points.

"We are always focused. For a long time, all the games have been finals, and we played with maximum intensity. We are used to this pressure and we are going to go for the three points, which are very important to ensure that we stay up."
