Barcelona look to "Remontada" and save the season against Sevilla

After two days of shocking arrests at his headquarters, Barcelona is trying to focus on the second leg of the semi-finals of the Spanish Cup of football, trying to compensate for its loss in the first leg of Seville with a double to maintain its hopes of winning the first title since 2019, and to save the current season.

The task will not be easy for the Catalan club tomorrow night at the "Camp Nou" stadium, after losing two goals without a response in Seville, in their effort to reach the final on May 17th at the "La Cartuja" stadium in Seville.

The match is the last actual preparation for the Dutch coach Ronald Koeman's team before the difficult task that awaits him in front of Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the final round of the Champions League next Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the French capital, after he suffered a humiliating loss 1-4 at home one way .

He hopes to repeat a historic remontada from the same role against the same opponent in 2017 (a clean four-leg loss in the first leg and a 6-1 home victory), but the irony is that this time the rematch is away.

Despite the noise behind the scenes, Barcelona hopes to cross to the final match in an attempt to win a first title since crowning the domestic league in the 2018-2019 season, as it will count again on Argentine star Lionel Messi, who has been particularly brilliant since the beginning of the current world.

Barcelona had prepared for the confrontation in the best possible way when it dropped Sevilla itself in its own home at the "Ramon Sanchez Pisjuan" stadium last Saturday, in the twenty-fifth stage of the 2-0 league, with a goal by Messi and another industry by Frenchman Osman Dembele.

Messi strengthened his lead in the league's top scorer rankings this season with 19 goals and has 14 goals in 13 games in various competitions since the beginning of 2021, the best in the five major European leagues.
