FT: Barcelona 2-0 Sevilla. BARCELONA ARE COPA DEL REY CHAMPIONS. Jordi Alba's goal in the first half of extra time with Neymar's flourish at the end win it for Barcelona, with 3 red cards in the game.

120+3' Messi sends Neymar through with a peach of a ball and the Brazilian curls a low finish past Rico into the bottom corner, to win the Copa del Rey for Barcelona, surely. Barcelona 2-0 Sevilla.

120+3' GOAL NEYMAR!

120' 4 minutes of injury time.

120' Messi rolls around after being fouled by Carrico who is sent off for two yellows in succession, the first for the foul and the second for dissent.

120' Jordi Alba comes off for Sergi Roberto. Job done.

119' Rami with a show if frustration as Neymar goes down when the duo challenge for a high ball.

118' THAT WAS THE CHANCE! Iniesta with a lovely cross from the left to the far post, where an onrushing Neymar heads the ball towards goal but Rico makes the save.

1-0 | @FCBarcelona celebrating Alba's goal, his first this season!

Ref's gonna have to add injury time for his own injury. That's...different #CopaDelRey

114' Gameiro gets booked for a show of dissent after being pulled up for a foul on Rafinha.

113' Konoplyanka earns a corner with a tempting cross that Busquets clears. Sevilla take the corner quickly, but Escudero's delivery to the far post is awful and Ter Stegen collects with ease.

113' We are underway again

110' Well this is odd - the referee is suffering from cramps, which results in a break in play.

Alba scores for Barça from one of the passes of the season from Messi.

Is this the moment that wins Barcelona the Copa del Rey final?

107' With 3 or 4 Barcelona shirts available for a pass in space, Neymar opts to go solo on the counter and fluffs the chance to make the game safe.

106' Barcelona get us underway in the final 15 minutes of extra time.

1 - Lionel Messi has assisted in a Copa del Rey final for the first time in his career. Decisive.

HT (AET): Barcelona 1-0 Sevilla

104' WHAT A SAVE! That's a save of the highest order - Pique's header at the far post looks to be heading home before Rico's reflexes deny him. Moments later Rico makes another stunning save from Dani Alves' long range efoort and blocks the follow up.

104 It's raining yellow cards here as Escudero trips Messi with a late challenge. Can't say if it's fatigue or frustration.

103' Messi's effort from the free-kick requires Rico to be at his best to deny the Argentine maestro at the near post.

That pass, though.

102' Konoplyanka with a barely disguised tug on Messi who had gone past him goes into the book.

100' Almost! Messi is sent clear on the counter and tries to chip Rico from range, but his shot goes over.

97' Alba's first goal of the season! Messi with a stunning diagonal ball finds Alba on an overlapping charge into the box, and he squeezes the ball past Rico from a narrow angle with a measured volley into the far corner. Barcelona 1-0 Sevilla

97' GOAL ALBAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

96' The players look incredibly tired as this high-tempo game finally ctches up to the players.

92' Krychowiak goes into the book for a tug on a countering Neymar.

6 - Gerard Piqué has made six clearances, more than any other player in this Copa del Rey final. Titan.

91' After both sides huddle to motivate themselves, Sevilla get the first half of extra time underway.

Ref in #CopaDelRey final has been excellent, especially given the niggly nature of the game (and despite Luis Enrique's sideline hysterics)

90+5' Iborra gets booked for a late tackle on Ter Stegen. There's a bit of afters as Pique and Mathieu are unhappy with the Sevilla man.

90+3' Messi's free-kick is on target, but Rico tips the ball over.

90+2' Banega is sent off for a foul on Neymar as he was the last man. It's outside the area and seems worth it, with Neymar looking set to score.

90' 5 minutes of injury time.

What an epic dive from Neymar! A closer look at the yellow card and you'll see 10/10 printed on it. #CopaDelRey

90' Neymar goes into the book for dissent after the referee does not award him a foul after the Brazilian goes down easily from a through ball. Luis Enrique goes mental on the touchlines.
