Copa Del Rey 2018/19, Barcelona 6-1 Sevilla: 5 Talking Points

#4 Sevilla's forwards fail to fire

Banega's penalty miss set the tone

Contrary to the first-leg which witnessed a fearsome attacking intent from Sevilla and the likes of Ever Banega and Pablo Sarabia in top form to put Barcelona to the sword, this attacking flair went for a toss in the decisive leg. Especially in the second half, when the visitors spent the majority of it on the backfoot.

Sevilla's best counter-attacking moments left a lot to be desired in the finishing but even they were few and far between. Their attacking moves ran into a stonewall everytime they edged in or around the area.

Banega, the architect of the famous win last week, delivered the first blow by fluffing a penalty early on. He was then completely run over by the Barcelona midfield which rendered him ineffective. However, he did well to pick out Lopes for their only goal of the night. With Pablo Sarabia in no man's land, Andre Silva was starved of service and cut a lonely figure upfront.

The only shot that the Rojiblancos managed to get on target in the second 45 was Lopes' superb volley, but it was buried under the deluge at the opposite end.
