Sevilla were off the pace in their 2-0 defeat to Barca last time out. Their form has been up and down since beating the Catalan club in the first leg, recording league victories over Huesca and Osasuna, but also losing the first leg of their Champions League clash to Borussia Dortmund and then again in their contest with Koeman’s side. Discipline is the name of the game for Julen Lopetegui’s men this evening.
Barcelona start the night needing to overcome a 2-0 deficit to advance to the final of the competition. They were outplayed in Seville as goals from Jules Kounde and Ivan Rakitic condemned them to defeat. The two sides did meet at the weekend in LaLiga where Barca got their revenge on the road as goals from Ousmane Dembele and Lionel Messi secured the three points. However, Ronald Koeman and his men know that they face a tough slog tonight.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final clash between Barcelona and Sevilla at Camp Nou.
