Koeman says Copa del Rey win is a ‘fantastic feeling’

Ronald Koeman was a happy man after seeing his team run out 4-0 winners against Athletic on Saturday to deliver the Copa del Rey trophy.

It’s a first title for the Dutchman since taking over from Quique Setien and he said after the match he felt it was a deserved reward for his players.

“It’s a fantastic feeling. Getting to the final was difficult, with those extra time games...” he said.

“We’re very happy and we deserved to win at least one trophy this season. The club deserves it. It’s a really important trophy for the club in a year of change.
