Ion Ansotegi believes this year may present Real Sociedad’s only chance of reaching a Cup final.
La Real trail Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, having lost the first leg 2-0 at Camp Nou.
The rematch comes on Wednesday at Anoeta and Ansotegi is under no illusions as to the scale of the task facing the team.
“We know this is a big challenge for us,” the defender told reporters.
“For many of us this may be perhaps our only chance to play in a final and it is clear there is much to do mentally so we don’t leave anything behind.
“The fans will believe and will make for a great atmosphere so that can help make sure the Barca we play isn’t the one we’re all used to seeing.”
