Before tonight's King's Cup final at the "Vicente Calderon" stadium, almost no one doubts the success of the "Barcelona" team.
The Catalans are considered favorites against "Alaves" and they want to end the season on a high note and send off coach Luis Enrique in a triumphant way.
However, their opponents are not planning to give up without a fight.
"We must create very unfavorable conditions for the Barcelona players and stop them with team efforts. It is important to maintain concentration," said "Alaves" goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco.
"If they want to win, they will have to earn it."
Defender Rodrigo Ely seconded him and spoke about Luis Suarez, who will not be able to play in the match:
"The Uruguayan is a great player, but the good news is that he will be in the stands."
