Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has claimed that his side's Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao will be "nice".

The Catalan club booked their place in the final with victory over Valencia on Wednesday.

"We're very happy and proud," Fabregas told the club's official website. "Some talk the cup down, but we want to play [in] all finals.

"We will always try to be on top. Athletic are a great team in the making, they have great players and [it] will be a nice final. [For] now we must focus on the league, where we have much to do, and the Champions League."

Barcelona are currently seven points behind Real Madrid in the race for the La Liga title.
