Marcelino Hails Valencia's Copa del Rey Final Win Over Barcelona as 'Happiest Day of My Career'

Marcelino has hailed Valencia's 2-1 win over Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final as the 'happiest day of my career'.

Heading into the game Valencia were labelled as huge underdogs, going up against a Barcelona side who easily wrapped up the La Liga title and were looking to restore pride after being humiliated by Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals.

Barcelona began the better of the two sides and were creating more chances but Valencia proved to be devastating on the counter-attack, with first-half goals from Kevin Gameiro and Rodrigo Moreno giving Los Ches a two-goal advantage at half time.
