Barcelona vs Sevilla: 5 Things to watch out for in the Copa Del Rey Final
The Copa Del Rey fever is back and the two sides that will be playing in the final of this hugely-popular competition are Sevilla and Barcelona.
Judging by the quality of the teams that will lock horns for the title, it is surely going to be a fantastic game to watch.
Barcelona have played Sevilla twice this season, winning the home game by a 2-1 margin. They needed the genius of Lionel Messi though, to salvage a 2-2 draw against Sevilla in the away game.
Both the teams are high on morale and possess fabulous attacking intent on display. Let's take a look at the five things that one should watch out for, in the upcoming match.
#1 New record for Messi to break
Messi has a very bad habit of breaking records each time he graces the football pitch. The world is often left awed by the magic and genius of the diminutive Argentinean, who is considered by many as the greatest player to have ever played the beautiful game.
Messi has been the vital driving force behind Barcelona's performances this season. He has scored 47 goals in the Copa Del Rey so far, and could very well score a few more in the final.
He could overtake former Barcelona player Kubala who has scored 48 goals and the legendary Ferenc Puskas of Real Madrid, who has scored 49 goals in the competition and move into the 50-goals club of the Copa Del Rey.
Sevilla aren't alien to Messi's dynamic vision and capability to change games single-handedly. They were forced to play out a draw in their last encounter.
Messi assisted Suarez's goal in the 88th minute, before scoring in the 89th minute himself to level the scores.
Will Messi be the difference for Barcelona on Saturday night?
