Real Mallorca coach Aguirre: I understand Copa final excitement - but it must now be Granada, Granada, Granada!

Real Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre has warned his players not to lose their LaLiga focus.

While there's an incredible excitement being generated ahead of the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla, Mallorca will face Granada this weekend.

Aguirre said: “The enthusiasm of the people is sensational, and we cannot enter into it, nor do we want to nor should we avoid it, limit it or ignore it, and what I have left in front of the players in the morning at breakfast, in the dining room during lunch, in the gym or on the field it is Granada, Granada and Granada.

"All our energy is deposited in this game that is very important for us, then if they at home, with their family, are thinking about something else, then I won't go that far, but I can say with complete certainty that we are going to continue competing and if the result does not work out it will be due to the circumstances that may arise during the 90 minutes, but we will compete focused on Granada, that is for sure."
