Freiburg coach Julian Schuster demands full commitment in the race for seventh place in the Bundesliga.

Ahead of the biggest game in SC Freiburg's history, Julian Schuster is focusing entirely on the Bundesliga season finale. "We want seventh place and we'll do everything we can to achieve that. Of course, the special challenge this week is that the next game already has a bigger impact," said Schuster.

Four days after the final matchday in the Bundesliga, Sport-Club can crown its remarkable season with a Europa League triumph. The Baden club will face Aston Villa in the final on May 20. "I also told the boys this morning, at the latest when they go to bed tonight and wake up tomorrow morning, there is nothing else but the game on Saturday," said Schuster with a view to the upcoming match against RB Leipzig (3.30pm).

Facing RB Leipzig on Saturday, SC's aim is to defend seventh place in the Bundesliga table and thus qualify for the Conference League. Having this in their own hands is "very, very remarkable", said Schuster. "We will do everything we can to produce a performance in the right mix that will enable us to achieve this goal." If Freiburg win the final in Istanbul, they would qualify for the Champions League.
