"When you play a Cup match, it's always tough. We created a lot of chances, and we need to finish better. In the end, it was very fair. It was a very even match, but we need to finish our moves better."
"We can't say anything about the mentality or attitude. I liked my team, and these Cup games have to be won, so we're happy."
Barcelona advanced to the Copa del Rey semifinals with a 2-1 win over Albacete after a testing night that required maturity and composure. The team faced demands from a congested schedule, playing every three days while remaining prepared and ready. Plenty of chances were created, but finishing inside the box lacked efficiency, leaving the tie tense until the final minutes. Despite the late scare, mentality and attitude stayed strong in high-pressure situations, and the squad's overall performance and work rate justified progression to the next round.
