Osasuna chief Braulio Vazquez: Great excitement ahead of Copa final

Osasuna chief Braulio Vazquez admits there's a lot of excitement ahead of the Copa del Rey final.

Osasuna will meet Real Madrid this weekend.

Vazquez enthused: “I'm super happy, proud, nervous and excited. All that together. With a few tingles, goosebumps every now and again.

Real Madrid have played in lots of finals, this is just another one for them, but for us it is the final". As for whether he has imagined a dream scenario of Osasuna defying the odds and winning the final.

“For things to happen you have to dream about them. I am obsessed with the Cup final. [Assistant coach, Bittor] Alkiza always gets angry with me, but I think we are in the final because we believe, because we have faith. I think it's the most beautiful game of the year by far. Last year I was at the Cup final and I told my wife that next year, half of the Cup would be red. Jagoba and myself think that if you want to achieve something you have to dream it, we are more romantic, more delusional than Alkiza, but he's since joined the bandwagon".
