Iniesta explains why Busquets lifted the Copa del Rey with him
The Barcelona captain needed help and 'Busi' needs to get used to it
Iniesta also spoke of the value of ending the campaign with a trophy
Andres Iniesta was happy to close the season with Copa del Rey success against Alaves and praised Barcelona's ability to keep winning trophies.
“A final is a final and it is always difficult [to win]," the Barça captain said. "Even though we were favourites, these games are always tough. We are happy because we reached the aim of ending the season with the Copa."
On sharing the lifting of the trophy with Sergio Busquets, Iniesta said it had no significance other than "needing help. There's nothing different on the horizon. It's good that Busi gets used to [lifting trophies] for the future."
Looking back on the season in general, though, there was a hint of disappointment: "We are required to play well, but also to get results. We didn’t do great in the other competitions and we were punished.
"But this is our third Copa del Rey in a row, and that must be valued."
Finally, he was asked about outgoing manager Luis Enrique: “He arrived at a delicate time and his record has been more than positive. We will keep trying to win every year."
