Ferran Torres, the man in charge of sealing Barca's ticket to the Copa del Rey final, assured after the victory over Atletico (0-1) that they are very motivated to fight for the title because their rival will be Real Madrid.

Barcelona's Ferran Torres, scorer of the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid to advance to the final of the Copa del Rey, said Wednesday that, within the team, “internally”, they feel they are favourites to win everything this season and remarked that Lamine Yamal always gives him the passes “just to push it”.

Do you feel you are favourites for everything?” asked the journalist of ‘Movistar’ Ricardo Sierra. “We internally do, but that doesn't mean we have to relax. We have to keep believing and working from humility and surely things will come,” said the ‘shark’.

“Winning here already tastes great, so imagine qualifying for a final. And if a final already motivates you a lot, imagine against your eternal rival”, he added about the qualification for the decisive match of the tournament against Madrid.

He scored the winner off a pass from Lamine Yamal. “I always tell him that I make the clearances and he gives it to me just to push it in,” he explained.
