FC Barcelona Beat Sevilla 2-0 to Lift Copa Del Rey Title

FC Barcelona finished their season on a high by capturing the Copa del Rey title to add to its Spanish league trophy won just a week ago.

Jordi Alba scored seven minutes into extra time and Neymar sealed the victory late to give Barcelona a 2-0 win over Sevilla for their second straight Copa del Rey title on Sunday.

After a goalless regulation time, Alba found the net with a low left-footed shot into the far corner after a superb long pass into the area by Lionel Messi.

Neymar closed the scoring in stoppage time after another perfect set-up by Messi to give Barcelona their 28th Copa trophy.

"It's a great way to end the season," said Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta. "It was a wonderful season. We continued to add to the club's history."

It was the 7th time in team history that FC Barcelona won both domestic titles in the same season

The Copa del Rey final was played at Atletico Madrid's Vicente Calderon Stadium
