Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets paid credit to Real Madrid after victory in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.

Barca won 0-3 to reach the final 4-1 on aggregate.

The midfielder said that Barça "have good statistics at the Bernabeu," alluding to the fact that the Catalans have always done well in the Spanish capital in recent years.

Busquets, who will play his ninth Copa del Rey final, says that playing at Madrid's ground "is as difficult as it gets but the team's performances have been great and we can't ask for more in recent years."

He recognised that in Wednesday's game Madrid "were better in possession, we struggled to stay together and control the counters. But they didn't score and when you miss this is what happens.

"It was one of the games here that we have suffered most in and one in which we've had the least possession of the ball."
