Jose Maria Del Nido, Sevilla (Peace Cup)
Sevilla president Jose Maria Del Nido has declared that the current Barcelona side are the greatest team of all time.

The Andalusian outfit will try to put an end to Barca's reign as Copa del Rey holders when the sides meet in the first leg of their round of 16 tie at Camp Nou on Tuesday night and Del Nido insists his team are a match for the six times champions.

"This Barca team is the greatest of all time. Nobody has ever won all six titles that they competed for in a year and with such authority, but Sevilla are obliged to go out and try to win in all venues. We come with hopes of qualifying," he told a press conference.

Sevilla enter the first leg with just 14 first team players available due to injuries and African Cup of Nations commitments but Del Nido has faith in his side's ability to take on the best.

"We have to get the strength to stand up to the best team in the world and the best of all time. We will go with faith that we can make it," he remarked.
