Since Barcelona did not achieve their targets of winning the Champions League and La Liga this season, the players are hungry to at least win the Copa del Rey this season.
This season saw the mighty Barcelona finally take a blow, as they were beaten in the Champions League against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786; and had to surrender the Spanish La Liga to their arch rivals, Real Madrid.
While Madrid were the ones who lost to Barcelona in the first leg which took place at the Santiago Bernabeu, Los Blancos were on their toes when the second leg took place at the Nou Camp, and won the match 2-1 to take the Liga BBVA title far from Barcelona’s
reach.
However, these two losses weren’t as bad as losing their brilliant-minded head coach, Josep Guardiola, who revealed in April that he will not be staying at the helm of affairs after this season.
Since the players did not get their usual silverware, the Copa del Rey seems like a consolation for them, as they want to achieve something at the end of the season.
Recently, many players came out and spoke about their desire to win the Copa del Rey and the most recent was the young La Masia graduate, Thiago Alcantara.
The young midfielder claims that Barcelona have always performed when it mattered and that is the reason why they are the favourites to win the Spanish competition.
While speaking to the press, Thiago said:
“We have shown that we are a winning team who are always competitive on big days. We’ll play our best game and try to win another trophy.”
Thiago Also spoke about Athletic Bilbao and how they are a strong side and will be hard to beat.
“Athletic are a very young team who have achieved things people never imagined they could a while ago. They have had a fantastic season.”
“I love to watch Muniain play. Few players can surprise me like he does. And he’s a great guy, always smiling, he makes your day.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 suffered a lot of injuries but also because he has improved his game a lot.
The young star is under the radar of a lot of European clubs, but he signed a new contract as Josep Guardiola promised him first-team opportunities.
