"To win the Copa del Rey would be a good way to put the Champions League slip up behind us," he told a news conference.
"To win with Barcelona is an obligation, in the Champions League, La Liga, the Copa del Rey. This is always the way with big teams.
"The pressure is the same with other finals, you have not won the title as you still have to play the final and there are two teams involved.
"We are maybe the favourites but you still have to play. In the Champions League we were favourites, yet we didn't go through.
"I never thought when I was with Athletic that to beat Barcelona was a miracle but more of an opportunity, and that is the situation tomorrow."
"The 2-2 is a result for us to look at and a warning about what can happen in tomorrow's game," he added.
"They have good players that can win the match in any moment. We suffered a lot in that match and it was Sevilla that were closer to winning."
