Barcelona boooked their place in the King’s Cup final after overcoming Real 4-3 on aggregate.
“The players have shown a great fortitude and I congratulate them. Madrid is a great team and because of that this victory has great merit. Madrid played very well, but over the 180 minutes we were deserving winners.
“They played without pressure, because they knew they had nothing to lose. They pushed high up the field, but we knew they would because we have experience of them doing that here. To turn the tie around you need to play like this.”
