Sergio Busquets: 'We cannot underestimate Athletic Bilbao'

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has insisted that his team cannot afford to underestimate Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday.

Barca will enter the showpiece event as the strong favourites to claim a 27th Copa del Rey crown, but Busquets has called on his side to remain focused at Camp Nou.

"They won't hand us the ball and in a final anything can happen, so we can't underestimate Athletic," Busquets told reporters.

"Barca are favourites but anything can happen in a final. It's true that we have won the last two finals against Athletic, but it'll be 11 against 11 on the pitch."

Bilbao and Barca met in the 2012 Copa final, with the latter winning 3-0.
