Leader on the pitch Gabriel Paulista spoke to VCF Media after a losing effort for Valencia CF in the Copa del Rey final

Fighting until the end

It is very hard to lose a final, but I am very proud of my team. We gave everything. We fought until the end.

Praise for Betis

It's a moment to congratulate Betis, who have been having a great season.

Pride in the team

There is a huge sadness. Nobody wants to lose any trophy, but I am enormously proud of my teammates. Many people talked about us. They say that we played bad football, but we showed that we are capable of anything. We are a team that fights until the last moment.

A great fanbase

We can only thank our fans. We came into the match so well because of them. Many fans have come from Valencia without a ticket, just to support us. Now, until the end of the season, we have to give even more than today. This club deserve much more.

A group effort

I want to give many thanks to the people at the club. I have been here for 5 years and I have felt their support from day one. For me, there is no lost ball, and I will always give everything until my last game with this club.
