Seville take Barca’s Cup title

Just as eventual champions Inter knocked Barca out of the Champions League, Spanish Cup winners Seville beat Barca in the last 32 of the competition.

Over a pulsating 180 minutes, Seville knocked the reigning champs out on the away goals rule. Barca had reached the last 32 after beating Third Division outfit Cultural Leonesa 0-2 and 5-0 .

Narrow defeat at the Nou Camp

Barca sent out a less than full strength team for the first leg on January 5th and Seville took advantage to take a 1-2 lead back for the return game. Barca needed a comeback and Guardiola called up all the big guns for the game, but despite a fantastic second half showing, Seville keeper Palop kept the scoring down to a solitary Xavi goal ( 0-1 ) and the Champs were out!

Seville went on to reach the final at the Nou Camp on May 19th when they beat Atletico Madrid to take the title.
