Football: Ter Stegen on Copa del Rey final

'We are very excited to win this difficult match in order to win a trophy' said goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen ahead of the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. Two weeks ago, Bilbao lost to Real Sociedad 1-0 in the final of the 2020 Copa del Rey, which had been postponed for almost a year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Bilbao defeated Barcelona 3-2 in the final of the Spanish Super Cup in January, after the Basque Country club had also ousted Madrid in the semifinals. Barcelona will play its scheduled league match against Granada at a date to be determined later this month.
