Sevilla 0-5 Barcelona: 5 talking points as Barcelona win the Copa del Rey title
The Catalan giants are well on target for a domestic double as they destroyed Sevilla 5-0 at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano to lift the Copa del Rey title.
Luis Suarez’s brace and a goal each from Philippe Coutinho, Lionel Messi, and Andres Iniesta were enough for the Blaugrana to claim their 30th Copa del Rey title and the fourth one in a row.
They were simply phenomenal from start to finish and never gave any chance for Sevilla to come back into the game. They completely outplayed their opponents on the night.
On that note, let’s take a look at the key talking points from the game.
#5 Iniesta's masterclass
One may need a better word than ‘masterclass’ to describe Iniesta’s effort against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey finals. He was unbelievably spectacular on the night and dictated the play from minute 1.
With a passing accuracy of almost 95%, Iniesta rarely misplaced a pass on the night. He was brilliant in the final third with a passing accuracy of 85%. He scored Barcelona’s fourth goal, after a beautiful one-two with Lionel Messi.
Iniesta attempted seven take-ons and successfully completed each one of them. He pulled all the strings in midfield and set the pace of the game. In short, a Man of the Match display from the Spanish wizard.
