Coke had half a chance, but screwed the ball across goal. Sevilla need to take every chance that comes their way.
@CharltonMadrid - Sevilla were 4-2-3-1 against Liverpool in the Europa Final. Has Emery changed it for this game? good to see 2 forwards playing up against Pique & Mascherano.
You know when Barca are struggling in a game, they surround the referee on every decision waving imaginary yellow cards. Messi may have concussion after that head clash. Suarez off with a hamstring injury.

Barca so cynical re this - trying to get the ref to issue a card for the slightest reason- even trying to get a guy booked for handball when it hit his hand on a rebound !
Our transport is proper shit when you think we moan if a match is played at 5.30 in Wembley on a Sunday for those northern supporters who then can't make it home. Meanwhile in Spain this game isn't going to finish till past midnight on a Sunday and these fans have to make an even longer distance to get home yet it's not an issue as I hear they have transport.
I expect Barcelona fans to go to Real Madrid's traditional place of celebration at Cibeles fountain tonight to rub it in, but I doubt there will be any trouble.
A better final than the FA Cup & Coppa Italia, but riddled with gamesmanship, whinging, diving, play-acting & cynicism. Top level football has become an exercise in conning referees and getting opponents sent off. I hope Euro 16 is decided by football and not by referees. The Scottish cup final has been the best game of the weekend, albeit with supposedly inferior players and teams.
Me too. Cant stand the cynical way they play act, and cant stand the way they play their football - lets have a shot on goal rather than a million passes around the halfway line.

A bit like the GP last week, where the superior cars went out on the second bend. It almost made it worth watching...
For all the flare and skill played by Barca it is almost ruined by the disgusting amount of play acting that goes on. The amount of times Suarez goes down screaming when he has not been touched is shameful and they know there a multitude of cameras filming every inch of the play and yet they carry on regardless.

Some great skill from Iniesta a few minutes ago. He then passed it to Neymar who tried to do the same trick and cocked it up. Brilliant.

Got a colleague who supports Man U and Barcelona - comes from Chichester. Nuff said.
always in the referee's face as well who I thought had a decent game.
