Two Copa finals, one Supercopa in Tangier: the eight-month stretch when Barcelona scored ten and conceded one

FC Barcelona and Sevilla produced three trophy finals in three years — and Barcelona won all three. The 2016 Copa del Rey final at the Vicente Calderón needed extra time after Sevilla played 85 minutes a man down. The 2018 Copa del Rey final at the Wanda was a 5-0 demolition and Iniesta's last competitive game in a Barcelona shirt. And the 2018 Supercopa, four months later in Tangier, was the first Spanish trophy ever decided outside Spain. Sevilla, in their Monchi-era pomp as Spain's third club, were the only side outside the Madrid-Barça axis to keep arriving at finals — and kept losing them. The modern league fixture is lopsided: Barça W7 D2 L1, 26-10 across our last ten meetings.
