Barcelona advanced to the Copa del Rey final

Outstanding Actor


Mark-Andre Ter Stegen, Score: 9
The Barça goalkeeper was there for a job at the most important moment of the game, when without stopping his penalty there was no chance of a comeback. In addition, he recorded important shots at the end of the overtime

The disappointing actor


Oscar Mingsa, Score: 4
The young brake still has something to learn. After the solid performance in Peugeot, this time caused a penalty that could have gone up to his team in the relegation from the Cup

Barcelona Model 2020/21 is an unexpected team – you can not know what you will get, but when things connect and look good, it is still and despite all the crises one of the best teams in Europe. Tonight (Wednesday) it definitely connected against Sevilla, who after a dramatic game and extra time at the Camp Nou fell victim to a fantastic evening of the Catalans and were eliminated in the Copa del Rey semi-final with a 3-0 erasure of their 0-2 draw from the first game.

It was just everything in this game, early goulash, wonderful situations for both sides, a penalty stop, a dramatic equalizer, red cards and big misses, but in the end Barça will remember one thing and that is a lot of character that took her to the final where she will face the winner between Athletic Bilbao and Levante in the semi-final The second. The Catalans are still competing in the 3 frames (with a small star on the Champions League) and this will definitely give a lot of back wind to Leo Messi and his teammates to continue.

This time too, Ronald Koeman chose a line-up similar to what he started with Cumin Sanchez Pijuan with 3: 5: 2, with Oscar Mingsa starting at 11 in place of Antoine Griezmann who was eliminated for the third game in a row. Barça started with very heavy pressure on Tomasz and Atzlik’s hair and very quickly it also paid off for them, when Osman Dembele who continues to look excellent bombed for the guys one of his beautiful goals this season in the 13th minute.

The Frenchman is in excellent shape, when beyond ball control, speed and dribbles, he improved the extension and scored a second game in a row, after the last 16 games in which a partner scored only one goal. Despite this, the host did not translate the advantage on the pitch into another goal in the first half, preferring to play more patiently, as Sevilla were not far from equalizing ahead of the whistle for the break.

In the second half we got a real drama, when the Andalusians could have punished and balanced the result after a nonsense by Oscar Mingsa that caused a penalty. Lucas Ocampus, who returned from a serious injury against Hattafa, went for a kick, but Marc-Andre Ter Stegen stopped him with a wonderful instinct from the penalty spot and kept his team alive. Fernando was sent off for a second yellow in the 92nd minute, and then, when everything seemed lost, one of Barça’s unexpected heroes arrived tonight.

The infamous Gerard Pique who did not stop receiving criticism from the moment he returned from injury rose to the height of substitute Griezmann and subdued Tomasz and Atzlik with a heartfelt jab. Just like what happened to the Catalans against Grande in the quarter, they achieved a dramatic equal deep inside in extra time after already being with a foot and a half out. In overtime, it was substitute Martin Braithwaite who slammed home the third against Sevilla who were mentally broken.

So now, having beaten a really great team that deserves all the compliments for a very good season, Barcelona have a few tasks left this season. To still win the trophy even in a very difficult period for her, to continue to try to close the gap from Atletico Madrid in the Spanish league (could be reduced to only 2 points if she loses to Real in the derby), and of course to give a respectable performance against Paris Saint-Germain, at the end who knows – Maybe we’ll get another impressive remontade like this. To be sure, it is impossible to eulogize Barcelona, ​​not even for a second.
