Barcelona 6-1 Sevilla (6-3 on aggregate)Barca had levelled the tie half an hour into the match, through Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic, before a second Coutinho goal and Sergi Roberto strike a minute later put them close to out of sight. Luis Suarez looked to have rounded off the victory just before the 90 minute mark, but it turned out that there was one more moment and it was well worth waiting for.
This moment begins with Lionel Messi, who sent a long pass out to the left wing to the oncoming Arturo Vidal. The Chilean midfielder squares it first time to Philippe Coutinho, who played a quick one-two with Gerard Pique.
The Brazilian then played a low ball across the front of the six yard box. It comes to Jordi Alba, who briefly seems to consider taking a shot before presumably realising that assists for Lionel Messi are his lifeblood.
So he backheels it to the Argentine magician, who could have hit it first time but decides that a little fake shot would cap proceedings off. So he fake shoots, then actually shoots, all while Alba looks on adoringly.
It was beautiful, so for the love of God just watch it.
