The captain spoke about his team’s win after scoring twice against Athletic
Getty Lionel Messi was happy to offer his thoughts on Barcelona’ s Copa del Rey final win over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday after scoring twice in an impressive 4-0 victory in Seville. The Argentine spoke to reporters after the final whistle and admitted it was a special feeling to lift the trophy as captain of the club, as reported by Marca. “It was a very tough competition, in many games we suffered. It is always nice to lift the title, very happy for this group that deserved joy. It is very special to be the captain of this club, a very special cup,” he said. “It is a different year, a transition, with many young players. It was difficult for us in the start, but we became strong in the league. We were able to cut the gap between Atlético, a pity the other day in El Clasico.” Messi certainly looked thrilled as he lifted the trophy after the final whistle. ????????
