Attention Barça is in remounted mode!
Seven days before the round of 16 return to the Parc des Princes against PSG, FC Barcelona, largely beaten (1-4) in the first leg, gives itself the means to believe in it and perhaps to redo the coup of 2017 ( 0-4 at the Park on the first leg and 6-1 on the return) after his very good performance this Wednesday evening against Sevilla FC, still in contention in C1.
Beaten 0-2 in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Ronald Koeman's men managed the small feat of reversing the trend and qualifying for the final (against Levante or Athletic Bilbao) thanks to their clear 3-0 victory over Sevillian side in the second leg.
Dembélé scorer, Griezmann decisive passer
Barcelona first came halfway by quickly scoring a magnificent goal thanks to its world champion Ousmane Dembélé (1-0, 12th).
The turning point of the match comes fifteen minutes from the end when former OM striker Lucas Ocampos misses his penalty.
Barcelona are taking advantage.
Like the previous round in Granada, Antoine Griezmann delivers a clever assist for Gerard Piqué who propels the leather to the back of the net in added time (2-0, 90th + 1).
During extra time the former Toulouse player Martin Braithwaite scored the qualifying goal with a splendid diving header (3-0, 95th).
In the process, the Dutch striker of Sevilla Luke de Jong is sent off.
The match is folded.
The Catalans will now turn to their match on Saturday night at Osasuna (12th) in a championship where they are 5 lengths behind the leader, Atlético de Madrid.
It will then be time to think about this return match at the Parc des Princes against PSG.
For a new remount?
