Barcelona Copa winner Guardiola: I leave happy, satisfied

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is happy to have finished his reign as a winner after lifting the Copa del Rey. Barca thumped Athletic Bilbao in last night's final.

Guardiola said: "I'm infinitely content. I'm leaving happy, with great satisfaction, and leaving a future for the Club so that things can continue to work. We've had a great cycle. 14 titles in four years is a difficult feat to achieve. I'm convinced that we're leaving a good memory behind, with time people will say that these players played great football and that it was enjoyable.

"We've grown tactically. In the first years it was all fireworks, pure energy. This season was more analytical. I'm convinced that with time the team will be even better."
