The Blaugrana were hungry for the win and their determination could be seen from the get-go. However, while it was celebrations and jubilation for Ronald Koeman and his team, it was heartbreak for all Sevilla fans.
The club let them down by squandering an important 2-0 lead. This is their second defeat to Barcelona within a week and Julen Lopetegui will have to answer a lot of questions as he was bested by Koeman’s tactics yet again.
The victory means that that there is still a chance of the Dutch manager to lift a silverware in his debut season, and winning trophies will also help them to convince Lionel Messi to stay on at the club.
This was a very important game for the Catalans and they came out of it unscathed. They could go on to face either Athletic Club or Levante in the finals and although they are the favorites, they should not underestimate their opponents.
However, it is time to look at the five talking points from the game and analyze where Barca went right and where they could use some more improvement.
