Inter Escaldes and FC Santa Coloma are released from pressure in the final of the Constitution Cup, which will be played this Sunday at 5:00 p.m. at the National Stadium. The two teams have already met the main objectives of the season, to qualify for a European competition – both will play in the preliminary round of the Conference League – but they want to bring down the curtain on the season by lifting the title. A cup that the scales have not won since 2020 and that the doves have not brought a shine to for five years.
The two coaches, Otger Canals of Inter Escaldes and Dimitri Txèritchev of FC Santa Coloma, agree in pointing out that there is no favorite in a final like this. "The game will be marked by the small details. We are two teams that have faced each other four times this season, we know each other very well and the games have always been very even", says Canals. His counterpart, the Russian coach of the Colombian team, points out that "in a final, it's important to shake off your nerves, impose your game and have some peace of mind. There is no favorite and both teams are ready." FC Santa Coloma will play as a home team, coming in third place in the Multisegur League and with the European place secured. Cherichev acknowledges that "the goal was to go to Europe and we already have that peace of mind. However, it will be beautiful and something historic to be able to lift the cup, and even if the main goal is done, when the player goes out on the field he always wants to win". Inter Escaldes, who fought for the title until the last day, wants to regain the feeling of winning the Cup and Canals comments that "a title is a title and after a tough season we deserve to lift the cup and enjoy of a celebration Even though we're both in Europe, the final has nothing decaffeinated." The Inter coach adds that FC Santa Coloma "is a demanding, hard-working, supportive team that has a lot of quality at the top. We know that if we don't match their intensity, we won't have anything to do." Cherichev, for his part, emphasizes that Inter "will be a strong and tough opponent and we have the utmost respect for them because it is no coincidence that they have won the league three times in a row. We will try to surprise him". The Colomencs reach the final after eliminating CE Carroi, Atlético América, and Pas de la Casa, while the Caledonians left UE Santa Coloma, UE Sant Julià, and FC Ordino on their way.
