Barça knocked out of Copa del Rey

Well it had to happen eventually – despite beating Sevilla 1-0 away last night, FC Barcelona departed the Copa del Rey on aggregate after their 2-1 defeat at the Nou Camp. While the first half lacked any real opportunities, Barcelona dominated the second half.

However, it was only in the 63rd minute that Xavi scored after receiving the ball from Iniesta. Barça kept on going until the final whistle despite time wasting by Sevilla in injury time to ensure the visiting team didn’t get the opportunity they needed to go through to the next round.

Barcelona face Sevilla once more on Saturday, when the Andalusians visit the Nou Camp in the Spanish League. Check out forthcoming fixtures and availability of Barcelona tickets on the homepage.
