On Saturday the 2017-18 season Copa del Rey final was played in Spain.
At the "Wanda Metropolitano" stadium, "Barcelona" faced off against "Sevilla" for the trophy. Andalusians were humiliated in the final duel - as if playing on wings, "Barca" triumphed with a crushing victory of 5-0.
The first goal fell in the 14th minute - after a great pass from Jasper Cillessen, Philippe Coutinho moved forward, waited for the right moment, and passed to Luis Suarez, who, despite not being in the best position, struck accurately.
In the 31st minute, Lionel Messi increased the advantage - the Argentine received a pass from Jordi Alba as usual and sent the opponents into a slump with his strong left foot.
However, this was not the final point in the first half - at the end of it, the scorer of the first goal, L. Suarez, started scoring the opponents.
In the second half, "Sevilla" had no chances, and the dominant "Barca" continued their goal feast.
The fourth goal was added in the 52nd minute by Andres Iniesta, who probably played his last final with the Catalans, and the opponents' suffering was finished in the 69th minute by P. Coutinho.
The "Barcelona" team triumphs in the Copa del Rey for the fourth consecutive year. This is the most successful club of this tournament.
