Valencia was a festival of noise on Thursday night as fans poured into the streets outside the Mestalla stadium to celebrate their team reaching the final of the Copa del Rey for the first time in 11 years.

Rodrigo Moreno's second half strike saw off the challenge of Real Betis to set up a cup final showdown with Barcelona on May 25.
