Jimenez hit his 27th goal of the season, after goalkeeper Bobby Allain felled Daniel Podence, to send Wolves into the last eight of a European competition for the first time since 1972.
“This goal means everything. It’s everything we were going through, for the whole season. Since the beginning we were training, we were working hard,” he said.
“We started the Europa League in the qualification rounds and have had a big, big season, but we have to keep going.”
Five-time winners Sevilla beat Roma 2-0 on Thursday and finished fourth in LaLiga this season.
Wolves need to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League or they face no European football next season but Jimenez is aware of the challenge they face in Duisburg on Tuesday.
He told the club’s official site: “We know it’s going to be tough, it’s going to be difficult. We know that they are a good team and they play good, but we play as a team, as a group, as a family, like we were playing all the season.
“They are a very good team but I think we can achieve very good things, and we have very good players to face them.”
