Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic says he won't celebrate if he scores against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final.

Rakitic left Sevilla for Barca two years ago.

Asked about games against Sevilla, he said at a press conference: "It's always special. But this time it's even more special, because it's a final.

"I wouldn't (celebrate if I scored). Out of respect for the fans of Sevilla. On Wednesday I celebrated Sevilla winning, but on Sunday I want to beat them.

"Finishing the season with the double would be brilliant."

The Andalusian side's recent record in finals is exemplary, though. They have won their last seven major finals, two in the Copa del Rey and five in the Europa League.

But Rakitic said: "They've won enough. They'll have more chances for titles next season. Now it's our turn to win."
