Sergio Busquets admits being in the wrong dressing room might be strange
Sergio Busquets says Barcelona are preparing for the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Club like a normal home game, as it takes place at the Camp Nou.
"We don't have to travel, we keep the same customs, we know the stadium... we have these advantages and little else more, because we're changing dressing rooms, and they will have two-thirds of the fans," said Busquets.
He admitted that this may feel a little strange. "Sure, when you arrive yes, but afterwards we will do the same routines, just a bit uncomfortable because the dressing room is smaller, but in the end what's important is the game."
Busuqets likes that the final is a one-off game, and not a home and away type tie. "For me, I prefer that it's a unique game, because it gives more emotion and more options to the smaller sides, and moreover the calendar is better for us.
"It can't be compared with the Champions League, which is more prestigeous, but the party that both sets of fans will bring, we love, and we want to live it and enjoy it."
Favourites
The midfielder said: "Barcelona are favourites for all the titles and we fight to win, but don't underestimate anyone because a final of the Copa del Rey is a game that can twist at any moment."
From a tactical aspect, Busquets said: "The centre of the pitch could be important, they won't give us any easy balls. They have more people in the centre, they come to pressure us when we break and that could be the key, in that we have to choose good options when coming out with the ball. And they are strong from set pieces."
