Barcelona sporting director Deco says they're excited ahead of facing Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Barca are into the Riyadh final after victory over Osasuna last night.

Deco said: "It will always be special against Real Madrid despite how the two teams are doing.

"Madrid arrive at a good time, they played a good game against Atlético and are leading the League, they are good and confident but we recovered players and arrived at an important moment.

"It's a final, in a final there are no favourites and we want to win."

Deco also said, "In the end it is a title that we want to win and we have to face it like this. We are fighting for all the titles we can play. We want to win the League, we want to go as far as possible and if it is possible to win the Champions League, we have the Copa del Rey. The good thing is to be in all of them and in the end it is to be able to be in the final. We have to think about the final and what is for the future, we will see, game by game."

The Portuguese concluded: "It was an important goal, the club already won here last season. We are at an important moment in the season where we need to be sure of our game, be happy and continue enjoying. It was important to advance to the final and play well.

"It was a tough game, Osasuna was a very difficult opponent and I think we played a good game."
