    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    Jesus Navas whips in a low cross which a couple of Sevilla players - including Steven Nzonzi and Luis Muriel - can't turn the ball home.

    This is much better from Sevilla.

    Gabriel Mercado steps across Luis Suarez to guide the ball out of play and the Barcelona striker gives him a little kick. Next one and he'll be booked, I suspect.

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    Sevilla have a chance here but Joaquin Correa doesn't make proper contact with his volley from 12 yards out and it's well wide. He was totally unmarked. Probably had time to take the ball down.

    Sevilla 0-1 Barcelona

    Barcelona are starting to turn on the style now, as Philippe Coutinho steps over the ball for Lionel Messi, who runs into trouble.

    Now Sevilla have a corner as Samuel Umtiti heads out Jesus Navas' cross.

    Route one and Barcelona lead. Barca keeper Jasper Cillessen punts a long kick downfield and four touches later they're ahead.

    Barca are in two on one from the kick. David Soria starts to come off his line and then changes his mind. He can do nothing about it as Philippe Coutinho squares to former Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez, who turns the ball into the empty net from about three yards out.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    A good performance so far by Sevilla's 25-year-old keeper David Soria, who had a spell at Leicester City as a youngster.

    This is only his 15th appearance this season.

    Barca have had 72% of the ball so far.

    Lionel Messi cuts inside from the right and plays an excellent cross into Philippe Coutinho, which David Soria does well to punch away.

    Lionel Messi fancies his chances from here and the free-kick is flying into the top corner, before David Soria tips it away excellent. Top save.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    A terrible Sevilla backpass finds Luis Suarez, who would have been offside had it been a Barca pass, and he's fouled by Sergio Escudero. Free-kick 30 yards out...

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    First shot from Andres Iniesta, it's ambitious even for one of the modern greats and it's deflected out for a corner - which comes to nothing.

    Luis Suarez shoves a Sevilla player to the ground. Free out.

    Sevilla 0-0 Barcelona

    Excellent Andres iniesta play and he finds Lionel Messi, who tries to jink into the box but runs into a white shirt.

    Moments later, flag goes up for a Luis Suarez offside but it was borderline - no VAR in Spanish football.

    Luis Suarez can't latch onto a long ball forward, a Sevilla player does up his laces, Barcelona take a throw-in. That's what's happened so far.

    Sevilla v Barcelona (20:30 BST)

    Barcelona have won six of their seven finals against Sevilla - including a 2-0 win in extra time in the Copa del Rey final two years ago. Their only defeat was in the 2006 Uefa Super Cup final, a 3-0 win for the Seville side in Monaco.

    Lots of whistles for the Spanish national anthem - you presume from the Catalan nationalists amongst the Barcelona support.

    Not as much as a couple of years ago though when they played Basque side Athletic Bilbao...

    The players come out to a good atmosphere at a sellout Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid's ground which only opened in September.

    Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic confirmed he had a "quick operation" on a broken finger so he could return today.

    The Croat, who played for Sevilla from 2011 to 2014, has missed their last two games.

    “I got a quick operation so I could play in the final," he said. "I always want to be with the team to help them and give my all.

    “I asked how long it would take to recover and if it had been more then I would have had to have the operation later.”
