Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola says he values winning the FA Cup above playing in Europe.

The Cherries host Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the competition on Sunday.

The FA Cup winners are guaranteed a place in the group stages of the Europa League the following season.

In an interview with Guillem Balague for BBC 5 Live's Football Daily, Iraola said: "The FA Cup is, for me, much more important than playing in Europe. It's a title.

"Sometimes they talk about the cup competitions as a way to get into Europe. I don't care about Europe.
