Elizegi: The Basque Copa final will set an example, it will be a festival of football Granada vs Athletic Athletic to play Real Sociedad

Athletic Club president Aitor Elizegi is certainly looking forward to facing Basque rivals Real Sociedad in the final of the Copa del Rey.

Los Leones progressed to the final at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville following an away-goals win over Granada in the semi-finals.

"The Basque final is going to set an example, we're going to set an example so that fans of both teams can enjoy a festival of football; the history of the two clubs is ahead of the result," Elizegi said.

"We've spent 36 years trying to win this trophy and we're on the right track, but there's still a long way to go.

"[Gaizka] Garitano has made us all believe with a really small squad.

"We've all helped out, that's how great stories are written.

"Gaizka has given us a breath of fresh air and oxygen to our lungs.

"We're on track to keep believing. No one can win without suffering against Athletic."
