After a going down 2-0 away, Barcelona played a full strength line up at home in the return leg taking no chances with a front three of Messi, Neymar and Suarez leading the line.
It was against the run of play however, after absorbing all the pressure early, that Sevilla took a first half lead that would prove to be fatal. Barcelona, despite wave after wave of attack and without question the best front three combination in world football, failed to score a single goal in 2 games. Sevilla proving to be deserving winners of this Copa Del Rey clash.
For Barcelona, it would end the dream of a possible treble. The night would perhaps hurt even more seeing their La Liga rivals Real Madrid breeze into the next round and now assured favouritism for the remainder of the tournament.
