Spanish Champions, Barcelona won the Spanish Copa Del Rey for the 28th time after beating Sevilla 2-0 at extra time as the football match produced 3 red cards for both team.
Jordi Alba and Neymar struck in extra-time as Barcelona completed a
league and Cup double by lifting the Copa del Rey for a 28th time after a
2-0 win over Sevilla in a fiery game that saw three red cards on
Sunday.
Javier Mascherano's dismissal just before halftime for pulling down
Kevin Gameiro put Barca on the back foot and they were further depleted
when 59-goal top scorer Luis Suarez limped off early in the second
period.
However, they resisted Sevilla's pressure after the break and Barca's
numerical disadvantage was cancelled out in stoppage time when Ever
Banega saw red for chopping down Neymar.
Barca dominated the extra 30 minutes, but needed just six to finally
make the breakthrough when Lionel Messi's sumptuous pass picked out Alba
to volley into the far corner.
Neymar then slotted home a second in the dying seconds from another
brilliant Messi assist after Daniel Carrico had also been dismissed for
two bookable offences.
