Barca to play their 3rd Copa final in 4 years

[Bojan]

The Cup Kings get to yet another final. FC Barcelona beat Valencia thanks to goals from Cesc and Xavi, one early on and the other late in the game, in a match that could have been all over before halftime.





Guardiola:

"In Valencia we played an extraordinary game, and today we did it again. We generated a lot of football, with an almost infinite amount of plays. Save the first minutes of each half, when we could go at them we had the game and we didn’t let it slip away.”
“Being in final is a great achievement,” and, at the same time, it says “a lot about the players.”

“When you’re tempted to doubt a player, to say that they are tired or comfortable, count to five or six and think about how some people regard this competition as the least prestigious, the one that’s least valuable, we’ve reached the final three out of four years.”

“We’re very excited to play against Athletic. We’ve happy to have another final saved away. It’s a final with the teams that have the most titles in the competition. I believe it will be fascinating, because I haven’t seen a team that plays into space like Athletic. They will come for us, and we’ll do the same. It’ll be a beautiful final for spectators that will give prestige to the competition.”

"Thiago had an extraordinary match, he played like a man. He audaciously played in a position that he’s not used to.

”Pinto was impeccable,” especially with his foot work. “In four years he’ll have played three finals, and that says a lot about his personality, his strength,”

“It’s normal that in La Liga we’re below a team like Real Madrid. We’re in a tough situation in the competition. It’ll be very difficult to reach them. We have to force them to win it. We have put pressure on them. In the end, these players challenge themselves.”

Do you want to see Spain follow the footsteps of the ex-Yugoslavia?

I want my country to follow the footsteps of Ukraine (1991), Montenegro (2006), Tokelau (2007), Scotland (2014), etc...
