And this game has come this far !! Thanks for following it with us! We hope you enjoyed the meeting and its broadcast. Until next time!
Ronald Koeman has passed the nine heats he has faced in the competition as a coach, winning the title the only time he participated (in 2008 with Valencia). Now the Dutchman has a chance to win the same trophy more than a decade later.
This being the case, Barça is planted in the final of the Copa del Rey for the tenth time in the 21st century, just twice the second most in this period (Real Madrid, five times). It is the most awarded team (30 titles) and the one that has played the most finals in this competition (41).
The details were not accompanied by a Sevilla that has had opportunities to close the tie. A maximum penalty missed by Lucas Ocampos kept Barcelona alive. In addition, the expulsion of Fernando Reges in injury time made it easier for the Catalans to attack the last plays in numerical superiority.
Barça owes half a ticket to the Cup final to Gerard Piqué, author of the goal in injury time that meant forcing extra time and equalizing the tie when Sevilla were already savoring the honeys of success. The Catalan ended the duel with problems in his right knee, to such an extent that in the final stages he was unable to participate in the circulation of the game due to discomfort.
Football Club Barcelona becomes the first finalist of the Copa del Rey 2020/21 !!! The goals of Ousmane Dembélé, Gerard Piqué and Martin Braithwaite turn the tie around and remove Sevilla from the competition despite the two-goal advantage that came from the first leg held at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. It took Barça just five minutes to settle the overall tie in their favor in extra time. With one more man for the expulsion of Fernando Reges and with a better physical condition, the Catalans did not go through difficulties or saw the scoreboard compromised in their favor.
END OF THE GAME IN THE CAMP NOU !!!!
Koundé, from attack to defense. The Frenchman regains ground after taking a free kick in favor and ends up blocking a shot by Braithwaite after a counter led by Leo Messi.
Yellow for Francisco Trincao for stepping on Diego Carlos' ankle.
KOOOOOOOOOOOUNDÉ !!! Dry whip from the front of the area !! Ter Stegen catches him in two times.
Now it is Lenglet who gets hurt after Koundé falls on him. The Seville defender was looking to finish off a ball hanging in the area but ends up committing a foul on his compatriot.
Gerard Piqué does not dare to contact the ball with his right leg. The defender directs the game, ordering his teammates towards which zones they must distribute the ball.
Goeeeeeeeeeeeraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !! Trincao try his luck with a shot that hits Koundé and ends in a corner. The Portuguese is dodging legs from outside to inside until finishing with a shot.
FACT. Antoine Griezmann has achieved nine assists for Barcelona in 2021 across all competitions, more than any other LaLiga player.
Great defensive effort by Antoine Griezmann when joining the defensive tasks. The Frenchman ends up recovering a ball that was prowling the culé area.

The 'Papu' Gómez pumps a ball into the area towards En-Nesyri but the Moroccan is not able to finish it off.
Sánchez Martínez authorizes the return of Gerard Piqué to the field of play. The Catalan returns without apparent discomfort.
FACT. Gerard Piqué has scored his latest goal for Barcelona in all competitions (93:08). It has served to force an extension that can trigger qualification for the Copa del Rey final.
Piqué needs the assistance of the Blaugrana doctors to assess the condition of the right knee. For the moment, he stands up on his own foot and does not need help to leave the playing field.
PROBLEMS FOR GERARD PIQUÉ !!! The central Blaugrana is lying on the ground putting his hands on his knee !!
THE SECOND PART OF THE EXTENSION BEGINS !!!
Lopetegui introduces the last extra change before the restart of the game. Take Munir el Haddadi in and remove Joan Jordán.
The spirits in Sevilla are somewhat on fire, in large part because they consider themselves harmed by Sánchez Martínez's decision not to signal a penalty by Lenglet. The ball touches the Frenchman's chest before hitting his hand, a fact that the Lorca, supported from the VAR room, considers that it is not punishable.
With fifteen minutes to go until overtime, Barça took advantage in the tie for the first time thanks to Martin Braithwaite's target. The Dane needed only five minutes of extra time to make Barça's third and sink a Sevilla that seeks to connect immediately.
END OF THE FIRST PART OF THE EXTENSION !!!
VACLIK STOP !!! The Czech reacts well and pulls reflexes to deflect the tense free kick posted by Leo Messi.
Sevilla is disconnecting from the game with specific actions. Julen Lopetegui tries to prevent it, asking his players to abstract from what has nothing to do with the playing field.
FACT. Barcelona is the LaLiga team that has committed the most penalties this season among all competitions (9).
DIRECT RED FOR LUUK DE JONG !!! The Dutch striker is sent off by Sánchez Martínez for protesting from the stands.
Sánchez Martínez shows the yellow card to Youssef En-Nesyri for kicking the ball towards the Barça bench.
The two cards for the Sevilla footballers were born as a result of the visiting team's claims about a possible penalty by Clément Lenglet by hands within the Barça area. The rained ball ends up first touching the Frenchman's chest and then touching his hand. There is nothing punishable for Sánchez Martínez.
He also sees the yellow Jules Koundé for the same reason.
Joan Jordán is reprimanded for protesting.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSI !!! The '10' is taken from a shot from medium distance that Vaclik blocks.
Koundé does not fall into the threat of Leo Messi. The Rosario is running out of shot options and ends up crashing his shot against the Frenchman's legs.
Griezmann intercepts the pass back from 'Papu' Gómez !! Sevilla stretches, aware that they have to settle in the opposite field and take risks. The French cut the shipment from the Argentine.
Barça come back from the tie !! With a disadvantage of two goals after passing through Sánchez Pizjuán, those of Ronald Koeman have been fulfilling their work in phases. In the first instance he manages to force extra time with Gerard Piqué's goal in injury time. Overtime started, Braithwaite now forces Sevilla to look for Ter Stegen's goal.
Jordi Alba is awarded the assistance.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OF MARTIN BRAITHWAITE !!!! BARCELONA 3-0 Seville. Braithwaite turns the tie around !! What a head butt to beat Vaclik. The Dane throws everything to head a service tempered by Jordi Alba.
FACT. Gerard Piqué has scored 49 goals for Barcelona in all competitions, 20 of them headed
Despite having one less man due to the expulsion of Fernando Reges, the Nervión team has the advantage that a goal of his right now has double value.
Sevilla is grouped in two lines well together very close to Vaclik. Those of Lopetegui are very fair physically.
THE FIRST PART OF THE EXTENSION STARTS !!!!
It is now his turn to face a Sevilla that could have put the tie on track in his favor. A penalty from Mingueza on Ocampos could put land in the middle but the Argentine did not hit the launch.
Despite kneading the ball and besieging Vaclik's area, the Barça team had not managed to generate a high production of scoring chances. He has only completed three shots between the three clubs during the second 45 minutes of play.
The first finalist of the Copa del Rey will be determined in extra time, in case the penalty shoot-out is not needed. With a 2-2 on aggregate, Barça has managed to equalize the disadvantage of two goals brought from Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
A goal from Gerard Piqué in injury time equals the tie and forces extra time at the Camp Nou. Sevilla was unable to defend their area in the final minutes, with Barcelona hanging balls in the area and with Messi unbalancing on all fronts. The expulsion of Fernando Reges for a double yellow leaves an unfavorable context for those of Nervión, who will face the next half in numerical inferiority.
LET'S GO TO THE EXTENSION !!!
Antoine Griezmann signs up the assist.
GERARD PIQUÉ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!! BARCELONA 2-0 Seville. PIQUÉ STRENGTH THE EXTENSION !! With Sevilla in his area, Griezmann hangs a ball to the area that heads to goal Piqué.

Junior Firpo blocks Lucas Ocampos' shot. The Argentine, without much bellows, seeks to finish the play.

Julen Lopetegui exhausts the quota of the changes. Dispense with Suso to introduce 'Papu' Gómez.
He also removes Óscar Mingueza from the field to bet on Junior Firpo, who is placed on the right side.
Double change in the Barça ranks. Koeman goes on the attack giving entry to Ilaix Moriba. Sergio Busquets leaves.
Leo Messi does not arrive !! The Argentine fails to return the ball to the area. Jordi Alba's frontal service is long.

Barça unlevels the field towards Vaclik's goal. The culés press.
Yellow for Óscar Mingueza for a grab on Lucas Ocampos that slows down the Argentine's career.
TO THE LARGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOO !!! JORDI ALBA STARTS THE BALL AGAINST THE CROSSBODY !! Dembélé reaches the bottom line and spikes towards the far post so that Jordi Alba connects a shot that is thrown towards the crosshead.
Leo Messi rehearses the shot from outside the area. He runs into a rival.
FACT. Antoine Griezmann wants to live his 'great' night after starting on the bench in the last three games. With three goals and two assists, no player has participated in more goals this season in the Copa del Rey than the French forward.
And Ronald Koeman responds with the first change. Enter Antoine Griezmann. Sergiño Dest is leaving.
Fourth change in the ranks of Sevilla. Óliver Torres leaves his place to Lucas Ocampos.
Lucas Ocampos is preparing to enter the field! The Argentine, with hardly any training sessions, is ready to return after overcoming his grade II sprain of the anterior syndesmosis and the calcaneal peroneal ligament of the left ankle.
We reached game time. No chance of danger after the restart of play. Sevilla defend their income (2-1 aggregate in the tie).
The possession of the ball by the Nervión team in this second period is 21%.
Accumulate many men inside Sevilla, closing spaces. The Barça gains meters in the field, approaching the area of Vaclik.
Pedri and Frenkie de Jong continue to percuss from the inside out, leaning on the climbs of Jordi Alba and Sergiño Dest on the lanes.
FACT. Barcelona is looking to reach the final of the Copa del Rey for the tenth time in the 21st century, just twice the second that it has done the most in this period (Real Madrid five times). It is the most awarded team (30 titles) and the one that has played the most finals in this competition (41).
With the modifications made, Lopetegui passes a midfield made up of five footballers, placing Óliver Torres on the left wing. Rakitic joins Jordán ahead of Fernando. In point, an En-Nesyri that will try to take advantage of the game on his back.
And finally, Jesús Navas appears on the scene due to Aleix Vidal's injury.

Jules Koundé gets rid of a bandage in the thigh area. The French defender walks with slight annoyances that do not prevent him from staying on the field.
Diego Carlos puts his head in to clear a corner! Great intervention by the Brazilian to intercept the shipment to the heart of the area.
FACT. Julen Lopetegui has conceded four or more goals in two of his three visits to the Camp Nou as coach (5-1 with Real Madrid and 4-0 with Sevilla).
Both technicians put in motion the machinery available. Players capable of changing the course of the game such as Antoine Griezmann and Ivan Rakitic are already warming up in the band.
There are no changes in any of the two teams. Both Ronald Koeman and Julen Lopetegui maintain the same protagonists who started the duel.
THE SECOND TIME STARTS IN THE CAMP NOU !!!
The tie is on the wire. The good feelings belong to Barça but the advantage is defended by a Sevilla that, despite its problems, is managing to resist on its feet. Dembélé is a real threat to the Sevilla defense and his state of confidence puts Lopetegui's men on alert.
With only 38% average ball possession, Sevilla are living in their own field. He has only completed three actions with the ball in the area and his presence from the last third is merely testimonial.
The Lopetegui team has difficulties to control Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, those in charge of putting one more gear into the Barça game. The trivote placed by Julen Lopetegui did not cover in time, with a Fernando Reges absolutely overwhelmed.
The culé team has converted one of the two occasions it has had between the three clubs but has overwhelmed Vaclik's area, generating a feeling of overwhelm and fear in the Nervión team. Marcos Acuña had to intervene on two occasions to avoid the goals on the goal line.
Rest in the district of Les Corts !! Sánchez Martínez decrees the conclusion of the first 45 regulatory minutes without deducting a single minute from the game. Barcelona takes the road to the changing rooms tightening the tie (2-1 aggregate for Sevilla) thanks to the goal of Ousmane Dembélé before the first quarter of an hour of play was completed. The Catalans have tied up the Nervión team, unable to match the forces with a powerful Barça, supported by the ingenuity of Messi and the speed of Dembélé.
END OF THE FIRST TIME AT CAMP NOU !!!!
Lopetegui asks his players for peace of mind after several inaccuracies in the pass. Sevilla is now extending its circulations.

Generous effort by Ousmane Dembélé traveling all over the field to lend a hand to Gerard Piqué and prevent the counterattack led by Aleix Vidal. The Tarragona loses the duel in speed with the Catalans.
FACT. Ronald Koeman has passed the eight heats he has faced in the competition as a coach and conquering the title in the only time he participated (in 2008 with Valencia).
Final stretch of the first period at the Camp Nou! Five minutes remain to reach the changing room tunnel. Barça tightens, just one goal away from equaling the aggregate of the tie (2-1).

The Seville team is having to bail water more times than expected. The arrivals of the premises are constant.
Sánchez Martínez admonishes Fernando Reges with the yellow card for being late to a ball anticipated by Sergio Busquets.
Jordan's foul on Messi, who claims Sánchez Martínez a punishment in the form of a warning. Those of Nervión already add six fouls at this point.

Frenkie de Jong is offside. The Dutchman is managing to appear in the last third of the field without rival opposition.
ACUÑA SAVES UNDER PALOS ON 2-0 FROM BARCELONA !!! Again the Argentine to prevent the rival goal! The full-back clears the ball on the goal line after Messi bit it off Vaclik after several cuts inside the area.

Acuña prevents Frenkie de Jong's shot in the mouth of the goal !! The Argentine throws himself at ground level to clear Messi's low ball that was looking for Frenkie de Jong in the small area in the back of the field.
Half an hour of play at the Camp Nou. After Dembélé's goal, Barça failed to reach Vaclik's goal so easily. Sevilla defends their income (2-1 aggregate).
Luuk de Jong does not arrive to connect the auction !! The Dutchman lacked millimeters to avoid the departure of Ter Stegen.
Again Aleix Vidal appears at the crossroads to prevent Dembélé's shot.
FACT. This is the second game that Sevilla has played with Youssef En-Nesyri and Luuk de Jong as starters among all competitions. The first was against Athletic Club in LaLiga in October 2020, with defeat for the Andalusians (2-1).
Mingueza goes to court to avoid En-Nesyri's shot. The canterano is very good measuring himself in the duels.
As a result of the culé goal, Dembélé and Leo Messi have positioned themselves as forwards, placing themselves at par. Barça goes to a kind of 4-4-2 that leaves Sergiño Dest with the possibility of taking over the right wing.
The Barça team kneads the ball, exceeding 60% of possession.
Verbal warning from Sánchez Martínez to José Ramón de la Fuente, Barcelona goalkeeping coach. The Lorca does not want to protest from the bench area and makes it known.
The Nervión team is overwhelmed, unable to match the intensity that the local team is printing.
FACT. Ousmane Dembélé has scored two goals in his last two games for Barça in all competitions, having scored just one in his previous 16 games.
Corner for Sevilla! Bad withdrawal of the culés that ends in a shot of Joan Jordán from the crown of the area. His shot touches a defender.
Frenkie de Jong falls inside the area! The Dutchman seeks to get ahead of Dest's measured pass but Fernando Reges cleverly tackles it by touching the ball. There is nothing for Sánchez Martínez.
Part of Sevilla's problems go through finding a way to stop Pedri, who has been extremely comfortable receiving the ball so far. The Tenerife native throws his companions vertically, disrupting the Seville system.
First chance for Sevilla. Aleix Vidal steals the ball from Busquets and ends with a shot that hits Lenglet. Ter Stegen block without problems.
FACT. Osumane Dembélé has scored four goals against Sevilla in all competitions, more than any other rival in his professional career – two of them from outside the area.
First quarter of an hour at the Camp Nou. Ousmane Dembélé's target gives Barça arguments to believe in the comeback. Sevilla remains ahead in the tie (2-1 aggregate).
Sánchez Martínez warns Sevilla after a start of a lot of contact. Now Acuña blocks Frenkie de Jong in the race, who was claiming the yellow card for the Argentine.
Dembélé points the way !! Vernon's had tried his fortune twice previously. The third time comes the charm to encourage a Barcelona that is one goal away from forcing extra time.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OF OUSMANE DEMBÉLÉ !!!!! BARCELONA 1-0 Seville. Dembélé heats up the semifinals !! After a long drive by Messi from the outside in, the ball fell at Dembélé's feet, who was successful in the face of Jules Koundé's robbery attempts. The Frenchman is threatening several shots and, finally, from outside the area, he is encouraged with a hit with the right that nails in the square.
Dembélé's whiplash !! Once again Dest breaks to the right and becomes the origin of a scoring chance. Now it is the French who kicks hard. It goes upstairs.
Shot by Sergio Busquets !! Dest unloads towards Frenkie de Jong, who sees the arrival of Badía from behind. His shot comes out too centered, without problems for Vaclik.
Sevilla tries to lower the revolutions of the game when they have the ball in possession. Through Óliver Torres and Joan Jordán, those from Nervión knead leather.
Frenkie de Jong does not reach the pass filtered by Óscar Mingueza. The culés accelerate the machinery, aware of the need to score two goals to force the extension.
Ousmane Dembélé's shot goes up. The Frenchman is encouraged with the hit after dodging Jules Koundé's mark.
ALEIX VIDAL SWITCHES OUSMANE DEMBÉLÉ'S BALL !!! What action from the side !! Dest finds a highway on the right, taking Marcos Acuña's back and serving a low center to the far post. Dembélé controls it and arms the shot but cannot finish before the interception of the Tarragona player.
FACT. Barcelona have not lost against Sevilla at home in their last 15 matches in all competitions (13V 2E), obtaining more than half of the time in this interval (eight, 53.3%) a result that can be worth it for be in the final next April.
Lopetegui has decided not to lock himself in his half of the field. The defense is located at the height of the center of the field, which causes a tireless work of the most offensive pieces to go to the pressure.
More recognizable is a Seville that changes parts but not a system. Fernando frees Jordán and Óliver Torres to put pressure on the Barça midfielders, with En-Nesyri dropping to the left and having Luuk de Jong as a reference.
Koeman bets on a defense of three centrals that gives the entire right lane to Sergiño Dest, with the freedom to take heights thanks to the position of Óscar Mingueza. As a consequence, Ousmane Dembélé lets himself peek inside, with Messi hooking.
THE GAME START IN THE CAMP NOU !!! Luuk de Jong is getting the ball rolling !! In search of the ticket to the final of the Cup !!
We already have both teams on the pitch! This is about to go! Are you going to miss it?
The referee José María Sánchez Martínez, belonging to the Murcia Referees Committee, will be in charge of delivering justice. The man from Lorca will be assisted at the VAR by Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea (Referees Committee of the Basque Country).
Sevilla have the historic opportunity to play their first single-match final in their own city. Hispanics can match Real Madrid as the second team that has played the most Copa del Rey finals in the 21st century (five like Real Madrid), it would only be behind Barcelona itself.
The Barça team has overcome the semifinals of the Copa del Rey in nine of the last ten times they have played them. It only fell in 2013 against Real Madrid.
After leaving the unbeaten streak in 557 minutes, Bono gave the goal to Vaclik. The Moroccan had not conceded a single goal in his eight games for Sevilla in the Copa del Rey, stopping all 17 shots on goal he has received.
The Nervión team has overcome their last two semifinals of the Copa del Rey (against Celta de Vigo and against Leganés) and has never linked three. It's 90 minutes away from making history.
In that sense, the Blaugranas have the ability to recover from the blows that threaten Sevilla. They have passed in five of the last nine Cup qualifiers that began by losing the first leg, the last four being in a row.
The 2-0 disadvantage is not an unknown situation for Barça, which already knows what it is to overcome this same adverse score in recent years. It was precisely against Sevilla, in the 2018/19 edition of the Copa del Rey: they were defeated in the first leg by 2-0 and later won with force (6-1) at the Camp Nou during the second leg.
Unable to beat him in LaLiga or at the Camp Nou (1-1) or at Sánchez Pizjuán (0-2), the Andalusian team has another luck in the cup tournament. He has only beaten Barcelona in two of his last 19 meetings in all competitions and those triumphs have come, precisely, in the Copa del Rey.
DOESN'T PLAY IVAN RAKITIC !!! Julen Lopetegui makes up to six changes with respect to Saturday's game, with the intention of refreshing the team to defend the advantage. Vaclik returns to goal and Marcos Acuña to the side after more than a month of inactivity due to an injury to the back of his left thigh.
PLAY PEDRI FROM HOME !!! El Tenerife recovers in time from the muscle stretch in the soleus of the left leg suffered a few days ago at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. Koeman repeats the same eleven used a few days ago in that victory against the Nervión team, seating Antoine Griezmann for the second consecutive game.
For his part, Julen Lopetegui comes out with the following eleven players (4-3-3): Tomas Vaclík – Aleix Vidal, Jules Koundé, Diego Carlos, Marcos Acuña – Fernando Reges, Joan Jordán, Óliver Torres – Suso, Youssef En-Nesyri and Luuk de Jong.
We already have the initial eleven confirmed !! Ronald Koeman puts the following line-up into the fray (5-3-2): Marc André Ter Stegen – Sergiño Dest, Oscar Mingueza, Gerard Piqué, Clément Lenglet, Jordi Alba – Sergio Busquets, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong – Ousmane Dembélé and Leo Messi .
Despite the fact that there is no public due to the coronavirus pandemic, the culé team will try to make the Camp Nou its best ally, a stadium that since the lifting of confinement has not managed to maintain its mystique. They have not won seven of the last 16 home matches in all official competitions
It is not the best moment for the Nervión team despite the good dynamics in the domestic championship. His streak of six consecutive games has been halted by the puncture against Barça, which is also joined by Borussia Dortmund's in the Champions League (2-3) a couple of weeks ago. Doubts flourish and the physical condition of Lopetegui's squad is not as optimal as in other phases of the season.
Lo tratará de impedir un Barça que sigue recuperando buenas sensaciones pese a los últimos golpes en forma de resultados. Llega a esta cita tras conseguir contra el Sevilla en LaLiga un marcador que le valdría para forzar la prórroga, por lo que Koeman buscará ganarle una nueva batalla desde la pizarra a Julen Lopetegui para optar a un título en una temporada complicada desde todos los ámbitos.
Cuatros días después de verse las caras en el Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán durante el duelo liguero, el Sevilla visita el Camp Nou en busca de hacer valer la renta de dos goles obtenidos en el partido de ida disputado el pasado 10 de febrero (2-0, Jules Koundé e Ivan Rakitic) para conseguir el billete con destino hacia la final de la Copa.
¡Muy buenas noches a todos! Sean bienvenidos a la retransmisión de este partido entre el Fútbol Club Barcelona y el Sevilla Fútbol Club, correspondiente a la vuelta de las semifinales de la Copa del Rey. ¡Comenzamos con la previa del encuentro (21:00h)!
