Sevilla coach Lopetegui on Barcelona Copa defeat: Most cruel part of football

Barcelona stunned Sevilla to reach the Copa del Rey final with victory in the semifinal second-leg on Wednesday night.

Gerard Pique scored at the death and Martin Braithwaite notched an extra time goal to send Barcelona to the 2020/21 Copa del Rey Final with a dramatic 3-0 victory over Sevilla in their semi-final second leg on Wednesday night at the Camp Nou.

Afterwards, Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui said: “It was a match in which we experienced the most cruel part of football. We arrived with one less and they should also have had one less. It’s a shame. A lot of things happened to us, we had injuries, we conceded a goal on the first shot … We didn’t break down and we had the options to qualify. It wasn’t like that and we’re disappointed.”

The Sevilla coach did not want to say too much on the referee’s performance: “Little more can be said, if you talk a lot you already know what happens to you. I think that Mingueza’s action was not right, it was a clear chance of scoring. He has seen it like this … “.
