Real Betis midfielder Fekir: Copa del Rey final bigger than World Cup

Real Betis midfielder Nabil Fekir rates the Copa del Rey final as bigger than the World Cup.

Betis meet Valencia on Saturday for the Copa final.

Fekir said, "Yes, of course. This is the most important trophy of the year and I hope that Saturday will be a good day for us.

"It is true that a World Cup final is very nice but also a final with my club, there is a lot of work throughout the year and the whole team is very excited."

Asked about Valencia potentially man-marking him, Fekir also said: "I'm prepared for this type of match. My game is like that, I like to drive the ball and I'm prepared for this type of matches. I don't ask the referees for anything, I enter the field as always to try to help the team as much as possible and to be fair, only."
