Twitter reacts to Lionel Messi's superb assists and Barcelona's Copa Del Rey triumph

Defending champions Barcelona beat Sevilla 2-0 in extra time to lift their 28th Copa del Rey title at the Vicente Calderon in Madrid on Sunday night. Both sides saw a man sent off for making last-man tackles in normal time and nothing separated the two until Jordi Alba and Neymar scored in extra time to give Barcelona the win.

Lionel Messi was anonymous for most of the game but his two sublime assists helped Barcelona claim a historic double. Here are some of the best tweets from last night’s game
