Barcelona win The Double

After securing a historic treble in the first season in charge Luis Enrique secured the unprecedented domestic double of  la liga and Copa del rey in his second year in charge of the Catalan giants. Capping off a fine 0-3 away win at Granada last weekend to secure la liga title Barcelona this week shrugged off the challenge of 3 times consecutive Europa League winners Sevilla to win the King's cup more widley known as Copa del rey. In a fierce and highly action packed contest at Atletico Madrid's home Vicente Calderon ,the blaugrana came out 2-0 winners after extra time when the regulation time finished goalless with each team reduced to 10 men after 90 mins to similar challenges. Javier Mascherano of Barca saw red towards the end of first half when his last ditch tackle brought down Kevin Gameiro who was otherwise clear through on goal. Luckily for Barca the tackle was just outside the box denying Sevilla the penalty. Similarly Ever Banega saw red during the additional time of normal period when his similar tackle brought down Neymar who was clear on goal after being released beautifully by Leo Messi. With sides locked all square after normal time it was a moment of magic from otherwise peripheral figure in the encounter, Leo Messi who scopped a delightful lob perfectly put on the plate for Jordi Alba who calmly slotted home for his first goal of the season. Messi was again at the heart of second goal when his well controlled through ball set up perfectly for Neymar who calmly slotted home to put the match and the title firmly onto the hands of Barcelona once and for all. Luis Enique ha won 7 titles so far in 2 seasons, an achievement that was doubted after a poor run of form in April.
