Barcelona 3-0 Sevilla (aet, 3-2 on aggregate)Gerard Piqué’s last-gasp equaliser sets up extra-time winBarcelona will play their ninth Copa del Rey final in 12 years but this was anything but routine, the route there torturous and dramatic. Marc André ter-Stegen saved a Lucas Ocampos penalty that would have taken Sevilla through before Gerard Piqué scored with the last touch of normal time to rescue his side, dragging this match into extra time where Martin Braithwaite completed the comeback.
The Dane’s header ultimately defeated Sevilla 3-0 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate, but even that might not have been definitive, even with Sevilla down to 10 men by then. In the 99th minute, everything was put on pause, tension growing as the referee, José María Sánchez Martínez, stood with his finger in his ear. In the VAR room 600km away, they revised another possible penalty for a handball from Clément Lenglet.
