Copa del Rey 2016 final: Barcelona 2-0 Sevilla - 5 talking points

4) Ever Banega signs off in the worst way possible

Banega was sent off for a rash challenge on Neymar

Sevilla talisman Ever Banega has been heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan this summer, in which case, this would be his final appearance for the Andalusians. But the Argentine won’t have fond memories of the farewell.

Stemming most of his side’s creativity during the first 60 minutes of the game, Banega undid all the hard work with a rash challenge on Neymar in a blue funk to earn himself a straight red. Although the situation was such that someone had to thwart the darting run of the Brazilian into the box, but Banega lunged himself into the tackle in an alarming way that left the referee with no other choice.

With the numerical advantage now gone, Barcelona wrestled back the control of the game and eventually emerged triumphant.
