Minutes before the beginning of the Copa Del Rey final between Athletic and Real Sociedad, last Saturday, referee Xavier Estrada Fernandez did not hesitate to encourage his team to enter the field with maximum motivation and conviction.
"Guys, close your eyes. Let’s remember our debut as referees. Who would have thought that we would reach a Cup final? We are a team and that requires commitment, attitude and character. Repeat with me: Commitment, attitude and character!"
