Barcelona had previously played in 39 Copa del Rey finals, tied only with Real Madrid's 39, and had a record 28 victories. They were the reigning champions, having defeated Sevilla 2–0 after extra time in the previous year's final at the Vicente Calderón in Madrid. This was their fourth consecutive final, and they were seeking a third consecutive title, a feat previously accomplished by themselves in 1953, and Athletic Bilbao in 1916 and 1945; Real Madrid (1908) and Athletic (1933) held the shared record of winning four consecutive finals.[1]
Meanwhile, Alavés, in their first back in the top flight following promotion to La Liga, were competing in their first ever Copa del Rey final, and their first major final since their 5–4 defeat to Liverpool in the 2001 UEFA Cup Final.
Sergi Roberto and Luis Suárez were suspended and did not play in the final for Barcelona, as they were both sent off in the semi-final second leg match against Atlético Madrid.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the 30th minute when he shot left footed from just outside the penalty area to the left corner of the net. It was 1–1 three minutes later when Théo Hernandez scored with a long range free-kick to the left corner of the net from the right of the penalty area.[2]Neymar put Barcelona back in front in the final minute of the first half with a close range finish after a low cross from André Gomes on the right. Paco Alcácer then made it 3–1 in the third minute of time added on in the first half with a right foot finish from six yards out after Messi had made a run into the penalty area, passing three Alavés defenders and flicking the ball to him.[3] There was no further scoring in the second half. Messi was named man of the match with one goal scored, one assisted and another one created.[4]
Neymar equalised Ferenc Puskás's record for having scored in three consecutive Copa del Rey finals and now is only one behind Telmo Zarra, who scored in four successive finals.[5][3] Lionel Messi became only the second player in Copa del Rey history to score in four different finals, after Zarra who scored in five in total.[5]
