Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has claimed that his side played an "extraordinary game" as they beat Valencia to reach the Copa del Rey final.

A 2-0 victory on Wednesday night was enough to give Barca a 3-1 aggregate win and book a place in the final against Athletic Bilbao.

"In Valencia we played an extraordinary game, and today we did it again," Guardiola told reporters. "We generated a lot of football, with an almost infinite amount of plays. Save the first minutes of each half, when we could go at them we had the game and we didn't let it slip away.

"We're very excited to play against Athletic. We're happy to have another final saved away. It's a final with the teams that have the most titles in the competition.

"I believe it will be fascinating, because I haven't seen a team that plays into space like Athletic. They will come for us, and we'll do the same. It'll be a beautiful final for spectators that will give prestige to the competition."

Barcelona next travel to Osasuna in La Liga on Saturday evening.
