Athletic Bilbao attacker Iker Muniain is brimming with confidence ahead of Friday’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
The 19-year-old insists his team have moved on from their Europa League final loss to Atletico Madrid earlier this month.
Muniain said they were focused on chasing domestic cup glory, and he believes disrupting Barcelona’s style of play by making them chase the ball is the best approach.
“We have recovered from the blow of losing the Europa League final. We’re very motivated, ambitious and hungry for victory,” Muniain said.
“Barcelona want constant possession and play a lot of passes. The only solution is to take the ball away from them and make them run after it. Easy, no?
“Nobody can deny that Dani Alves is an important loss for Barcelona. Personally, I’m relieved not to have to face him.”
