    GOAL! BARCA! COUTINHO! The Brazilian steps up and sends Soria the wrong way to make it five!
  • 69'
    PENALTY! BARCELONA! Lenglet handles Suarez ball to Coutinho and even through the Brazilian puts the ball in the back of the net, the whistle had already gone.

  • 67'
    Iniesta is booked for protesting that he should have had a penalty after being tripped by Mercado in the build-up to that chance.
  • 66'
    Navas hits a clearance against Messi and it flies a foot wide of the far post.
  • 64'
    CHANCE! Sevilla finally threaten as Sandro gets in down the left but Cillessen stays big to block his effort away.
  • 62'
    Busquets' effort from 25 yards fades narrowly wide of the post with the aid of a slight deflection.
  • 60'
    Coutinho's flicked header lands in the welcoming arms of Soria.
  • 55'
    Umtiti goes close now! This could get ugly quickly for the Andalusians. Suarez's header from a free-kick out on the left was too hot to handle for Soria but Umtiti was somehow unable to convert the loose ball.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Barcelona en el 52'
  • 52'
    GOAL! BARCA! INIESTA! This is poetry in motion. Iniesta echanges passes with Messi before completely selling Soria with a beautiful dummy to give him an open goal to slot the ball into from a narrow angle. This may be his last final in a Barca shirt, what a way to mark it!
  • 49'
    Sarabia feeds Vazquez and he looks to take aim but Alba makes a brilliantly block to deny him a shot on target.
  • 48'
    Vazquez looks to cross from the right but it crosses the line for a goal kick.
  • 46'
    Barcelona get the game back underway here! Sandro has come on for Correa for Sevilla.
  • 45'
    HT: Sevilla 0-3 Barcelona. Absolute domination from the Catlans, who hold a commanding lead at the break thanks to goals from Luis Suarez (2) and Lionel Messi.
  • 43'
    Escudero catches Suarez out wide. He needs to be careful having already been booked.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Barcelona en el 40'
  • 40'
    GOAL! BARCA! SUAREZ! So cool from the Uruguayan! He gathers the ball on halfway and finds Messi, who returns it toe suarez first time to put him in and the former Liverpool man simply slips the ball past Soria to make it three. This could get ugly at this rate.

    A booking for Escudero as he hauls Messi to the ground on halfway when he looked to be free and clear. He may have been lucky to avoid a red there.

de Barcelona en el 31'
  • 31'
    GOAL! BARCA! MESSI! This is filth from Jordi Alba! Iniesta puts him in down the left with a one-two and when it appears that Navas has stopped his march to the byline Alba seizes on the loose ball to backheel it into the path of Messi, who fires into the roof of the net. Barca are in dreamland!
  • 28'
    OFF THE BAR! Barca hit the bar for the 43rd time this season as Iniesta's effort from the edge of the box takes a nick off Messi before crashing off the bar and back into play. If that doesn't touch the Argentine that goes in.
  • 26'
    The Andalusians look more threatening when they get the ball forward quickly.
  • 23'
    CLOSE! Navas finds a yard down the right and crosses low and whilst N'Zonzi gets a touch it isn't telling enough to turn the ball on target.
  • 22'
    Suarez looks to pick out a run that Coutinho simply hasn't made and Soria gathers.
  • 20'
    Suarez fouls Escudero out by the touchline and the Sevilla fans scream for a booking. The free-kick will have to suffice though.
  • 18'
    CHANCE! Mudo Vazquez dinks a wonderful ball into the path of Correa, but he fails to make any telling contact with his volley and it dribbles wide.
  • 17'
    Messi is crowded out at one end and Sevilla counter, with Navas' cross being headed behind for a corner.
  • 15'
    Suarez is flagged once again as he looks to race clear.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Barcelona en el 14'
  • 14'
    GOAL! BARCA! SUAREZ! Not that he could miss! Cillessen pings a long ball for Coutinho from a goal kick and Soria simply retreats, allowing the Brazilian to draw the goalkeeper before crossing for Suarez to convert from four yards. So easy! That really is woeful defending from Sevilla.
  • 11'
    Messi looks to feed Coutinho, but Soria races off his line to punch the ball to safety.
  • 9'
    WHAT A SAVE! Messi does indeed take it and his curling effort looks destined for the top corner but Soria gets across to make a fine save and prevent the ball from nestling in the top corner.
  • 8'
    Escudero bundles Suarez to the ground 30 yards out and Messi will have a chance to have an early sighter.
  • 7'
    Suarez is at it again as he throws his man to the ground at the far post on a corner. The referee is having none of it.
  • 5'
    The first of what I can only assume will be many offsides this evening is called against Luis Suarez. On the replay it looks like a very harsh call.
  • 4'
    Iniesta rolls back the years and skips past a few players before gfinding Messi but he is crowded out.
  • 3'
    Barca keen to get a hold of the ball early on.
  • 1'
    Sevilla get us underway here!

    What an atmosphere here in Madrid:

    No surprises from the Andalusians either. Jesus Navas continues at right-back, with their front four of Luis Muriel, Franco Vazquez, Joquin Correa and Pablo Sarabia likely to ensure that Barca's back line are in for a busy night.

    So, Philippe Coutinho lines up at the tip of the midfield diamond for Barca as they look to claim their first silverware of the season, with Sergi Roberto reverting to right-back after his recent exploits in midfield.
