Barcelona spokesmen Toni Freixa has rejected Real Madrid's concerns at proposals to stage the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid officials expressed their reservations with hosting the match, after their 85,000-capacity home emerged as the preferred venue for one of Spanish football's showpiece events.
Barcelona will meet Athletic Bilbao in the final, after they eliminated La Liga front-runners Real at the semi-final stage.
But Real say they are worried about "anti-Spanish feeling" at the match, given the respective Catalonian and Basque heritage of the two competing clubs.
Freixa dismissed those fears, however, instead insisting that it should be an honour for any club to stage the final.
"At the moment, we are in the process of proposing the Santiago Bernabeu as the venue and we hope that it will be possible because it is the ideal scenario," he told Mundo Deportivo.
"We insist that this must be the stadium and I am as optimistic as possible about that. We want to throw a big party for Spanish football."
The match will be the 108th Copa del Rey final and will mark Barcelona's 36th appearance on the big stage.
"We seek a field that meets the criterion of maximum capacity and is equidistant between the two cities, in the interest of both sets of fans," added Freixa.
"We understand that the ground to tick those boxes is the Santiago Bernabeu and that is something we have made known to Federation in conjunction with Athletic Bilbao.
"
In the coming days we can hold a meeting with the RFEF [Spanish FA] to nominate the venue."
