Barcelona win by two goals but for much of this final it was Sevilla who were on top. A second red card –
for Sevilla – turned the match on its head though. And once Messi had space and time he was able to kill off
a fading Sevilla, who started to feel the exertions of winning the Europa League.
Messi plays a brilliant 45 yard ball that rakes across the pitch and onto the toes of Alba in the area. He shrugs off his marker and pokes the ball across Rico and into the corner of the net.
And that is that. Rafinha and Messi make the most of the extra space afforded by that sending off on the edge of the area. It is Messi who plays the killer ball to Neymar, running in on the left and he slots the ball past Rico.
