"I've told my players I won't betray them"

AE Prat, a sixth-tier Spanish side, will face Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey on October 29 after eliminating Sant Rafel de Ibiza; manager Cristian Gómez says the team is excited but focused on league matches first.

AE Prat of the Catalan Elite League, managed by former Espanyol player Cristian Gómez, has secured a Copa del Rey tie against Athletic Bilbao on October 29 at L'Hospitalet after a dominant 10-0 aggregate victory over Sant Rafel de Ibiza. The sixth-tier club's stadium was deemed too small by the Spanish Federation, forcing the match to be played away from home. Gómez told media the squad is thrilled by the draw but remains focused on three league matches before the cup fixture, as the league is their primary concern.
