BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona can cap four illustrious years under Pep Guardiola with a 14th trophy when it plays Athletic Bilbao in Fridays Copa del Rey final. Tim Tebow Patriots Jersey Authentic . The match at Atletico Madrids Vicente Calderon Stadium will be Guardiolas last in charge of the team, ending an unprecedented period of success for Barcelona since the former player took charge in 2008. The 41-year-old Guardiola will be looking to finish the way he started, as a 4-1 cup victory over Athletic three years ago provided the first prize for his trophy cabinet. Ready to hand over the coaching duties to his assistant and good friend Tito Vilanova, Guardiola will look at the game as an opportunity to cap a season that started well but finished poorly. Barcelona hasnt played a meaningful game in one month after it lost to eventual Champions League winner Chelsea in the semifinals, just days after losing to Real Madrid to surrender its three-year hold on the Spanish league. "Ive got the feeling we are very well prepared for this final," Guardiola said from the Camp Nou on Thursday. "A final is always there to be won." A record 26th domestic cup will at least send Guardiola out on a high and would deliver a fourth trophy in this campaign after winning the Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and Club World Cup. Barcelona remains without injured striker David Villa and its defence is also depleted as Carles Puyol, Eric Abidal and Daniel Alves are all missing. Striker Alexis Sanchez returns from injury while backup goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto -- who has started all cup games under Guardiola -- should get the nod after missing the last game of the season with an ankle injury. "The illnesses that befell players we love in this club were the worst thing, everything else turned out well," Guardiola said. He summarized his time in charge with a reference to Abidals long-running liver illness which forced the France defender to undergo a transplant in March. "His departure is going to be dramatic for me," defender Gerard Pique said. "Hell leave a void but Tito will continue on and well do well. Its normal for eras to end in football." Athletic coach Marcelo Bielsa could also be seeing his term coming to an end. Bielsa hasnt said whether he will continue next season, and the Argentine coach has refused to budge on the question until after the cup final. Like Barcelona, Bilbao risks closing the season on a low, having lost 3-0 to Atletico Madrid in the Europa League final. The Basque club will have welcomed a long layoff following the longest season of any Spanish club playing in Europe. "We dont dwell on favourites," Bielsa said on Thursday. "After coming so close to a title already this is a fantastic opportunity that motivates us, were fully optimistic on our chances." The teams have combined to win the competition 48 times, and the matchup promises to provide unrelenting, attacking football, although a quick replant of turf at the Calderon following a Coldplay concert may hinder the players some. "Athletic enjoys one advantage that we dont in that their team hasnt won any titles this season, so there is hunger there," Guardiola said. "Its going to be a nice final. They will attack and so will we."

He added they could also lose to anybody. The enigmatic Russians lived up to their captains word. With a team built around 11 players who ended third at Euro 2008 and another Dutch coach, Dick Advocaat, Russia was tipped early to be a dark horse at the tournament in Poland and Ukraine. When it thrashed the Czech Republic 4-1 in its opening Group A match, Russia was touted as tournament favourites. But it turned out the big win in Wroclaw was the high water mark, not the start of something big. The Russians were eliminated Saturday after losing 1-0 to Greece at the National Stadium in Warsaw. Ultimately, Russia was undone by its insistence on attacking. When veteran Greece coach Fernando Santos studied video of the Russians he saw that the teams attacking strength could also be its weakness. "When we had the ball, we tried to exploit gaps in their defence," he said. "Because they were pushing forward, that gave us space." The Czech Republic never had a chance to use the space as Arshavin orchestrated a thrilling lesson in Dutch-style attacking football. And while the Russia team was one of the tournaments oldest, it showed in Wroclaw that it had one of Euro 2012s young stars -- 21-year-old Alan Dzagoyev, who scored a goal in each half against the Czechs, and went on to give Russia the lead in its 1-1 draw with co-host Pooland. Tim Tebow Patriots Jersey Blue. The CSKA Moscow attacking midfielders name has been linked with major European clubs and he said he would make a decision about his future only after the tournament. The future is less clear for other stars. Arshavin spent the second half of last season on loan to Zenit St. Petersburg after Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he needed more playing time, which he was not getting in north London. The 31-year old star of Russias campaign at Euro 2008 started with an inspired performance against the Czechs and provided the inviting cross for Dzagoyevs goal against Poland, but could not find a way through the stifling Greek defence when it mattered most. It is unclear where Arshavin will be playing next season. "A number of players didnt have the sharpness to score," Advocaat said. He was talking about the Greece loss, but could also have been describing the draw with Poland, in which his team also dominated but failed only scored once. Saturdays Euro 2012 exit also marked the end of Advocaats Russia reign. He joins Dutch club PSV Eindhoven next season. As Russias players trudged dejectedly to their team bus Saturday night, the countrys football federation chief, Sergei Fursenko, hinted that the post-Advocaat era could begin with a clean-out of the old guard. "We have one of the oldest teams in the competition, and I think some of the younger players didnt get a proper chance to play," he said. ' ' '
