The World Cup winner has voiced his desire to win the Copa del Rey final in honour of his side’s departing mentor, Josep Guardiola.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604’s Andres Iniesta has expressed that La Blaugrana are willing to give their all in order to win one last trophy under their outgoing head coach, Josep Guardiola.
The midfield maestro appeared full of confidence as he vowed to bring the Copa del Rey trophy home.
Iniesta stressed that Barca are greatly motivated and do not count 'losing' among their options.
He emphasized his side’s ability to thrive under pressure and stated that the showdown of the cup will be a thrilling encounter.
The Catalan giants are set to take up the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 Bielsa’s Athletic Bilbao in the coveted competition’s showpiece event.
The hugely anticipated fixture will take place in Atletico Madrid’s home stadium, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon, on May 25.
The match has great significance attached to it. The first reason for this is the fact that this is Barca’s last chance to redeem their season which has seen them being deprived of silverware in the Spanish La Liga along with the UEFA Champions League.
The second factor that weighs importance on the game is that this is Pep Guardiola’s last game as the manager of the Spanish giants and the Camp Nou outfit have planned to win the trophy as a parting gift for their soon-to-be former boss.
The Catalan midfielder has stressed that winning the Copa del Rey means a lot to the footballing juggernauts.
While talking to reporters, the 28-year-old was quoted as saying:
"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. After the Copa del Rey final a new time starts, without Guardiola and with Tito."
If Barcelona are able to secure the Copa del Trophy on, Friday it will be Guardiola’s 14th trophy with the Catalan giants.
