Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas praised his team's performance in their 2-0 win over Valencia in the Copa del Rey second leg, but warned his colleagues that there was work to do for success in La Liga and the Champions League.
The former Arsenal midfielder and Xavi struck in either half to ensure the Blaugrana's progression 3-1 on aggregate, and he told Barca's official Twitter account: "We're very happy and proud. Some talk the cup down, but we want to play [in] all finals.
"We will always try to be on top. Athletic are a great team in the making, they have great players and [it] will be a nice final. [For] now we must focus on the league, where we have much to do, and the Champions League."
With the venue for the final yet to be decided, Cesc commented on speculation that the final would be held at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
He added: "We'll see. Wherever the final will be, it will be a big game. Athletic has a great team."
