FC Barcelona had an easy time last year with the Copa Del Rey final. They beat Athletic Bilbao 3-1 in the first of three trophies to end the season for Luis Enrique’s team. Lionel Messi started off the game with a wondergoal, going past three players and slotting home a goal at the near post.
Then Suarez was played onside by a pass to Messi, he then slipped it to Neymar who finished it into an open net. Messi then pounced on a rebound in the second half to make it 3-0. Inaki Williams gained a consolation goal in the effort but it was too late.
FC Barcelona will be looking to make quick work of Sevilla and take advantage of what looks like a tired side. Barcelona should look to finish this game off by halftime because Sevilla can come back in a flurry as Liverpool learned on Wednesday. You can’t keep Sevilla in the game otherwise, one goal can make it game on again. The key will be limiting the chances of Gamiero inside the box. He has been on fire this season and the fewer chances he gets at the net, the better FC Barcelona’s chances of winning this game.
