Sevilla strong start
Sevilla, who were trailing 2-0 from the first leg last week, came out of the blocks quickest forcing a series of corners in the opening five minutes. Striker Wissam Ben Yedder forced a fingertip save from Claudio Bravo, and moments later a second, when his close-range header was pushed on to the crossbar.
Arda opener
A great combination between Andre Gomes, Lionel Messi and Arda Turan led to the opener as Barça carved their way through the Sevilla midfield. Messi slipped the ball into the path of Arda, and the Turkish midfielder fired past Sergio Rico to open the scoring after 10 minutes.
Bravo penalty save
Sevilla won a penalty after 33 minutes when Samuel Umtiti handled the ball in the area, but Vicente Iborra was outfoxed by Bravo. The Chilean guessed right and pushed the Sevilla midfielder’s effort wide.
Arda double
The second half was barely two minutes old when Arda pounced again. The Barça number 7 picked up a loose ball outside the area and curled a looping shot over a stranded Sergio Rico and into the top corner.
Hands up who's scored two goals at the Camp Nou tonight...

Messi bags third
Lucas Digne raced down the left flank after 55 minutes and floated a cross into the area. Messi timed a late run to perfection and looped a header into the corner to round off the scoring. Barcelona ran out 5-0 winners on aggregate to lift a record-extending 12th Supercopa de España.
