The Spanish midfielder will be taking part in the Copa del Rey final and wants to win it for Josep Guardiola, since it will be the Catalan coach’s last game for La Blaugrana.
This season Barcelona finally showed the world that they are a team made of only humans. The Catalan giants were unable to secure the UEFA Champions League and the Spanish La Liga.
While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 were the side who knocked Barcelona out of the European competition, Real Madrid never gave Barcelona the much-needed breathing space in the Spanish La Liga.
Not only did Barca lose in the Champions League and the league; in fact, they also lost their manager, Josep Guardiola, who said in a press conference that he will be out of footballing action for at least a year.
With the league and the Champions League over, Barcelona now have the chance to take one title in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 as they take on the challenge of Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey.
It is going to be Josep Guardiola’s last game in charge of the Catalan club and the players are eager to give their legendary coach a farewell gift in the shape of one last trophy; which is going to be Guardiola’s 14th under his 4-year reign.
Midfielder, Andres Iniesta, recently came out in the open and expressed his desire to win the Copa del Rey final for Josep Guardiola.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 star said that his side are currently only concentrating on winning the game as they want to present Josep Guardiola with a gift and want to bid farewell to him after helping him win another trophy.
While speaking to the press, the Spaniard said:
“We don’t think about losing this final.”
“We think about winning, about the feeling you get when you lift another Copa del Rey trophy.”
“It is hard to say, but I don’t think people’s view on these four years will change much whether we win or lose, but it is true that we will do all that we can to win this tournament.”
“We are going to do all we can to end the season well and close the coach’s years winning the title. We would like to leave with a smile and a good taste in our mouth.”
Barcelona will be facing Bilbao on 25th of May and they are currently the favourites to win the final of the Spanish competition.
