Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero believes that Fulham do not have the history to defeat Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final.
Atletico were in the Champions League group stage earlier this season, and were winners of the old European Cup Winners' Cup in 1962.
The Argentina international has warned his team that anything can happen in a final, but still insists that Atletico should beat the Cottagers in Hamburg on Wednesday.
"If we analyse the history and the statistics in Europe, Atletico are superior to Fulham," Aguero said.
"This is no guarantee in the final, I respect Fulham because they have defeated Juventus, Wolfsburg and Hamburg.
"They will fight for the ball, but they are not Chelsea, Manchester United or Arsenal."
Atletico advanced to the final after an extra-time Diego Forlan goal in the semi-final second leg at Anfield saw the Spanish club eliminate Liverpool on the away goals rule.
