Casillas: Madrid believe

Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas says confidence is high within his side ahead of the Copa Del Rey Final against Barcelona.

The Spanish shot-stopper however believes that there are no favourites for the match and is not reading much into the Catalan giants’ recent slump in form.

“Winning is the idea we have, not just me,” Casillas told reporters today. “The team has played a good Copa Del Rey.

“It won’t be easy, it will be an exciting match with great players and we need to believe in our chances and our way of playing.

“We think we are going to do it.

“Personally I’m not thinking about Barcelona’s last week at all, regarding their defeats in the Champions League and La Liga.

“It’s different for the two teams, anything can happen in a Final. Now they have two competitions to play for. One will be difficult for them to win and the other is this Final.

“We need to forget about the past and concentrate on this Final. The team is prepared.”
