Out of La Liga’s race, the Copa Del Rey meant more than ever for both Sevilla and Barcelona as two teams took on each other in the cup’s semi-final at the Sanchez Pizjuan on Wednesday.
The Andalusians took the advantage of the first-leg by an impressive 2-0 victory, thanks to the goals from
Julian Kounde
and
Ivan Rakitic.
Kounde
told his post-match interview:
“At the beginning of the move I lost the ball a little, but their block enabled me to recover it, dribble and finish well. I know I can finish well.”
The French centre-back also praised his team-mates for keeping the advantage.
“I think the clean sheet is the work of the whole team,”
he said.
“We played a complete game with a very good first half, but in the second we suffered more and lost a lot of balls. They came out really switched-on, but we were able to not concede and score a second.”
