Copa Del Rey, Barcelona 6-1 Sevilla (Aggregate 6-3): Five Talking Points

#4 The star man, as always: Lionel Messi

It was another vintage display from Messi.

The GOAT was at his sparkling best yet again. If you'll all remember Sevilla's tweet from earlier this week, in compliance with the #ThingsIWouldBan movement that has been viral across the sporting world:

Lionel Messi simply went on to showcase how right Sevilla was, in being wary about him, going about his routines of outlandish passing with some exquisite touches - the most noted of those being the assist for Sergi Roberto's goal when he took out three defenders with a ridiculous through-pass.

In the dying seconds of the game, Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and the man himself successfully finished off two quick counterattacks, the first of a Sevilla corner and the next off a Sevilla freekick. The Argentine also managed to get his name on the scoresheet, thereby scribbling his own signature on the game before proclaiming it as "done and dusted", as Martin Tyler would have loved to call it.
