Barca 3-1 Alaves
Goals: Messi 30′, Neymar 45′, Paco Alcacer 45’+2 – Theo Hernandez 33′
Like many other matches, Lionel Messi was the one who opened the victory for Barca.
In addition to scoring directly, Messi also made his mark on the remaining two goals.
Before sealing the victory in the first half, Barca had a moment of worry when Alaves equalized 1-1.
Messi gave his coach a `farewell gift` with a goal and two successful assists.
If there were the services of Luis Suarez, Barca could have won more heavily.
Without the threat of Suarez, Alaves played with more confidence than what happened in the second leg in La Liga (lost to Barca with a score of 0-6).
Theo scored for Alaves from a direct free kick.
There was more attack than the previous meeting, but Alaves still did not have enough sharpness to equalize the gap.
The events after the break were somewhat less exciting than the first 45 minutes.
At the end of the match, the score remained unchanged.
Neymar scored the ball to increase the score to 2-1.
This is the 29th time Barca has won the King’s Cup, a record.
This year’s King’s Cup is also the ninth title that coach Luis Enrique has won with the Catalan team.
Ending the 2016-2017 season with the King’s Cup was a beautiful farewell for Enrique.
Enrique bid farewell to Barca with a title.
