The Swans take on the League Two otufit in the Wembley showpiece this Sunday, with four tiers of English football separating the two sides .
And whilst the Welsh club will be clear favourites heading into the game, the prospect of lifting the club's first piece of major silverware has given the in-form Spaniard cause for excitement.
"I am very excited," he declared.
"We are favourites for the final, but no one here will be taking Bradford for granted. Look at the teams they have beaten to get to the final - Wigan, Arsenal, Aston Villa over two legs.
"These are among the top 20 teams in England, so Bradford have proved they have no fear against the bigger teams. But that's what I love about the cup competitions here. The underdogs can beat the big clubs.
"In Spain, that rarely happens. For a fourth tier team to get to the final in Spain? Well, that's impossible. But in England it can happen, as we have seen.
"On Sunday, though, we are determined not to let the underdog win. We have had a fantastic season in the league, so to win a first major trophy for the club as well would make it even better."
The striker also admitted his teammates are drawing inspiration from the Swans previous visit to Wembley, having proved victorious in their 2011 Championship play-off final under then manager Brendan Rodgers.
"Ash, Leon and Monks have spoken about the atmosphere at the Play-Off Final. They said the supporters were amazing and made an incredible amount of noise," he added.
"I can't wait to run out at Wembley - one of the best stadiums in Europe - and hear the Jack Army getting behind us."
