Barcelona had the last laugh over Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey after coming from two goals down in the first leg to beat them 3-2 on aggregate and advance to the final of the cup competition.

A goal each from Martin Braithwaite, Gerard Pique, and Ousmane Dembele gave the Catalans the victory as an edge towards winning their first title this season.

Ronald Koeman's men will now face either Levante or Athletic Bilbao for a chance to lift the silverware on Sunday, April 4.

Meanwhile, after the dramatic win which extended into extra 30 minutes at the Nou Camp, the Blaugrana took to social medial to hit back at their Spanish League rivals.

They took the opportunity to lash out at the Andalusian club over their Twitter post which obviously didn't sit well with Barca a few weeks ago.

Sevilla's initial post last month made reference to Barcelona's humiliation to Paris Saint Germain where Pique was pulling Kylian Mbappe's shirt with the caption saying 'Europa League and 'Sevilla in the CL last 16' as reported by The Mirror.

In their response, Barca told their visitors that football is all about respect and in the end, wished them a wonderful night.

"Football is about respect. Bona nit (goodnight)."

Meanwhile, Koeman was delighted with the dramatic win and heaped praises on Gerard Pique for his outstanding display all through the game. The Dutchman said after the game:

"Gerard has shown a great game today and that he is one of the leaders of the team. He has defended very well. He is doing very well upfront and has been a great centre.

"He has scored at a very important moment. The team has been phenomenal, it is not It is only fair to single out one player. The whole team is to be proud of."
