Valencia boss Marcelino insists they're capable of beating Barcelona.

Marcelino has recognised that Barcelona will come into Saturday's Copa del Rey final as favourites, but he has faith in his team to cause an upset.

"We may lack experience, but surely we have plenty of heart and, from that point of view, I believe we can match them," stated Marcelino.

"This season we have played in many vital matches [in the Europa League, Copa del Rey and the race for fourth spot in LaLiga Santander]. Barcelona have a lot of experience in these kinds of games. The 90 minutes will decide the champion and we will do our best to achieve that."

On Barca star Leo Messi, he added: "Most coaches do not know how [to stop Messi].

"We'll do what we've always done [against him]. Try to get him to participate less in the key areas on the pitch. It may be the case that, as a human, he has an off day and we will have to take advantage."
