Magical Messi leads Barcelona to Copa Del Rey glory
Barcelona have won the 2017 Copa Del Rey after a 3 - 1 win over Alaves on Saturday night.
Lionel Messi was the star man as Barca ended Luis Enrique's reign at the Catalan club in style with a Cipa Del Rey title.
Barca fell short of rivals Real Madrid in La Liga and Juventus in the Champions League quarter-finals. Messi scored the opener after wriggling through a swarm of players to score the opener but Theo Hernandez equalized through a free-kick. Neymar scored Barca's second goal and Messi did well to set up Paco Alcacer to put Barca out of sight at 3 - 1.
Although Alaves kept the score down after the break, they rarely looked likely to trouble the commanding lead built by Messi and Barca, who will now turn their focus to a board meeting on Monday, after which the club are set to announce Luis Enrique's replacement.
