Barcelona wing-back Balde hails Dembele for Copa victory

Barcelona wing-back Alejandro Balde was pleased after their Copa del Rey victory over Real Sociedad.

Ousmane Dembele struck the winner for the 1-0 quarterfinal victory.

"Our objective is to win this trophy," said Balde. "We had four games to go, and now, three."

Barcelona's left-back said: "I don't know if I'm an undisputed starter, what i do know is that I only think about taking the chances they give me and keep learning beside the best. I'm proud of being here."

The No 28 is "in good form" he said, but says Barca need to "kill off games, even though we knew (Real Sociedad) were a team in form. We will work more on that."

He added, "We are proud to have (Dembele) in the team, he brings a lot."
