Camp nou show piece sees

Inaki Williams pulled back a consolation 12 minutes from full-time
It's called the King's
super Spanish cup, and the King won it. Leo Messi scored one of the greatest
goals of his career to put Barcelona ahead in the Copa del Rey final at the
Camp Nou on Saturday night, later adding a second as they finished 3-1 winners.
He has already been said
world's best player four times; he will almost certainly win the Ballon d'Or
for a fifth time at the end of this year; and with goals like this one, the
arguments for him being anything other than the greatest of all time become
increasingly exhausted.
Atheltic Bilbao had set
about the Barcelona's No 10 in the first 20 minutes of the game - perhaps
they should put a sign up pitch-side at the Camp Nou 'don't upset the genius'.
Neymar said.
“They pressed us in the beginning but we overcame it and after that we were better than them”
And on his row at the
end the Brazilian said: 'I just did a normal dribble. I've always done it. It's
their problem, I won't change my style”
What a night for
Barcelona: they are Copa Del Rey winners courtesy of a master class from the
world's best footballer.
Lionel Messi ran the
show, adding a second after his fantastic individual opener while Neymar also
found the net. Xavi said goodbye to the Camp Nou for one last time as a
champion - and in seven days’ time his side can make it a treble for the season.
A quick note for
Athletic Bilbao who more than contributed too and were rewarded with Inaki
Williams' consolation but ultimately there is no stopping Barcelona.
Lionel Messi inspired
Barcelona and his team mates to the win with a brilliant goal
Barcelona celebrate
winning the second of a possible three trophies this season
FULL-TIME! BARCELONA WINS THE COPA DEL REY!
90+4 mints: The referee blows his
final whistle and the celebrations start. Barcelona are Copa del Rey winners -
their second trophy of the season and with one more still on offer in Berlin
next weekend.
Lionel Messi - a
brilliant solo goal and a poacher's effort - and Neymar - a great team goal -
found the decisive touches before Inaki Williams scored a consolation.
The Catalan club was just brilliant tonight and
the Basque side could not cope with them.
This picture is showing how much team mates are happy. It was a
wonderful night for them.
