Barcelona’s old guard turned on the
style with Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta all on the scoresheet,
as Sevilla were swept away 5-0 in 2018 Copa del Rey Final.
Barcelona 30th Copa Del Rey win --
and their fourth consecutive victory in the decider -- was among the most
dominant final performances you will see anywhere. It also means a
domestic double is almost certain, given Ernesto Valverde's side are 12 points
clear in La Liga with just five games left to play.
Sevilla had barely strung two
passes together when in the 12th minute Barca keeper Jasper Cillessen took out
all 10 outfield opponents with a pinpoint, 80-yard pass over the top. Opposite
number David Soria thought of coming for it, then didn't -- a big mistake as
Philippe Coutinho controlled the ball just 15 yards out and simply squared it
for Suarez to hook in.
