PBP: Copa del Rey | Quarter Final Leg 2 | FC Barcelona v Sevilla FC | 30 January 2019 [R]

Luis finishes it off

 

And that's 6! That's just them fscking around for fun.

 

Credit to Sevilla. This was a tough tie despite that 4-0 scoreline at one point.
Massive test passed. Other teams will be taking note.

 

Pique really wanted to score that last one

 

FC Barcelona
Valencia
Real Betis
And one more team, likely Girona.

 

Bona nit 👏👏👏👏 son molt bons. Visca el Barça

..........I forgot this was on. Bad fan.

Glad we won and move on.

 

Alba and Rakitic were immense! Messi was wasteful with a couple of chances he should have put away. Bad game in terms of scoring but still a GOAT game with playmaking and he showed good leadership to constantly press on defense and let Coutinho take the PK. Hopefully this is a team win that inspires us. Defense is still worrying...

 

what a game. champion league is not matter if we play like this

 

The goal which put the tie beyond reach was the 5th one for Barca, after Sevilla scored they were one away goal from advancing on away goals, it made it more exciting to watch than 4-0 but a bit too intense, and Sevilla obviously gained confidence with the 4-1 score and knew they just needed one more. They had a corner, obviously a possible avenue to score and take command as 4-2 meant 4-4 on aggregate and they'd advance on away goals just like the last time they knocked us out of the Copa.

Meeting the short corner was Luis Suarez who blocked it near the end line and first time cleared it just past the box at 0:47 in this video, there it looks like Arthur but not sure (?) chests it down and away from our goal then sends a long ball into space for Leo to run on to at 0:49, Leo sprints to the wide through ball with a defender at his hip, at 0:55 he takes the first of 4 or so touches of the ball, cutting it back, and taking in the spread out field, he picks out Arturo Vidal for a cross field pass, at 0:59 Arturo traps, then one dribble, then releases Alba on an overlapping run down the left side at 1:00, at 1:02 Alba runs on to the pass at first times it to Suarez, who has run the entire length of the field and first times it in at 1:05, 18 seconds after he first cleared the corner to start the counter at the other end line (and the replay may have even slowed it down before the Alba pass to show Suarez was onside, so I think the entire move was done in less than 18 seconds)

 

FYI the final will be played in Betis’ stadium.

 

Since everyone's posting the video from behind Messi to say 'no penalty' (where the view is hard to make out), here's the side angle, uploaded by me, that no one's posting because it won't get likes on social media.

Worth a couple more looks, it wasn't as vital as the earlier goals but Barca's 6th was pretty amazing:

 

Re Sevilla's penalty that was saved by Cillessen.

People think that wasn't a PK? Like for real?
