According to the report on Mirror, Lionel Messi explained that he is glad to have helped the club win the Copa del Rey as the Catalans will be ending the term with a trophy.
"The truth is that the recent Copa del Rey was special due to the period we were in, the club has gone a couple of years of not having a great time due to different results and titles.
