The two teams have already played against each other this season in the league. So the game ended 1-1 at Camp Nou. In addition, Barça and Sevilla have an interesting meeting history in the last five years as part of the Cup. The two clubs met twice in the final stage, with the Catalans’ hand on top in both. In general, the King’s Cup has brightened the face of Barcelona in the current decade – since the 2010/2011 season the team has reached the final no less than seven times. Out of those performances, Leo Messi and his friends won the title five times.
In the middle, Barcelona fans received alarming news from Enso Patti’s cut. Slow progress in his recovery from the injury appears to have forced the club to undergo surgery on the young player on his knee, Spain reported. To this can be added the injury of Sergi Roberto who will be out for a period of a month and a half.
