Alba:

Jordi Alba believes that it wouldn't be the end of the world if Barcelona didn't manage to win all three titles this season. "A failure, no. We are having a very good season. We are two games away from winning the treble, but it would by no means be a failure. Arriving to the final and not winning it would be a real downer for all of us, but it wouldn't be a failure".

Regarding the cup final, he was happy that it was being played at the Camp Nou: "We're playing at home; it's much better playing at our own ground. It'll be a very difficult match and we'll try to win it. I don't think it's a double-edged sword. We don't have to move and we know the pitch well".

The team's big objective: "We hope to be all together the day after the Champions League final, but it won't be easy. They are two great rivals that have played well to get where they are. Our wish is to be celebrating our successes with the fans on the 7th".

No favourites in a final: "We don't see ourselves as the favourites. Nowadays any team, be they great or small, can beat you. I really don't pay much attention to these things; they're more for the public".

The Champions League doesn't make the players lose focus: "The team are concentrated on this Saturday's game and after that we'll think about the Champions League. We would really love to win the treble and it'd be a shame if we became distracted by a game that we don't yet have to play".
